Rheum palmatum var. tanguticum
This grand plant has graced English gardens for more than 200 years. The Royal Horticultural Society describes this Rheum thus “A rhizomatous perennial to 2m high with large basal leaves that emerge from the ground in late spring. Leaves are jagged and deeply cut, and dark reddish purple when young, maturing to deep green with red undersides and long, thick reddish stems. In summer, tall, branching flower stems bear upright clusters of tiny, densely packed flowers in shades of white, pink or deep red.”
Flower stems will reach 1.5 to 2.5 metres high and the foliage clumps will grow 1 metre high by 1.5 metres wide. This noble plant needs similar conditions to rhubarb to which it is related. Give it well drained moist soil, in sun or light shade and plenty of fertiliser.
