Mr Thomas Wanley, BILLINGHAM Teesside
Supplied as a pot grown plant.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid / late AprilOriginating from Brighton in the 1920s this truly is a tried and trusted variety. Reliable and heavy cropping this is probably not a variety we would choose to force, as it is so valuable as a late-season variety.
The thick and juicy stems tend to have more of a green tinge than many other varieties of Rhubarb and are also far 'softer'.
But where this variety really comes into its own is with its long cropping season. Due to the naturally low levels of oxalic acid (the compound that causes the bitterness in Rhubarb) in Glaskins Perpetual and the fact that these do not increase as they do in other varieties as the season progresses this Rhubarb variety can be harvested later into the summer and even into the early autumn.
A truly lovely variety in every way.
