I have a rhubarb plant that flowers but doesn't produce much Rhubarb. How can I fix this problem?

I got this plant at a Home depot 6 years ago and thought it was supposed to be Ruby Red rhubarb but all it does is go to flower and I get no rhubarb. I've tried removing the flowering parts but it still goes to flower every year over and over.

The problem is that you're allowing it to flower. Break off the flower stem every time you see one..
Reply:I will assume you are living in an area Rhubarb grows well in. Sometimes when plants are too crowded they do not produce well. Do your plants needed separated?





Add organic compost twice a year. Spring and Fall.
Reply:Are you providing enough water? Sometimes plants will flower rather than fruit when they are starving.
Reply:Type rub red rhubarb in your seach engine and read about this plant. I am sure you will find what you are looking for.
