Rhubarb Timperley Early 3 x Crowns

One of the Earliest Rhubarbs to Harvest One of the earliest cropping varieties Excellent for forcing Heavy crops of thick stems Vigorous and reliable RHS Recommended: Award of Garden Merit ‘Timperley Early’ has long been a favourite with gardeners wanting to get their rhubarb season underway as soon as possible. One of the earliest varieties to crop, it produces plenty of thick stems, deep red at the base and becoming lighter towards the top. Where this variety really earns its place is under a rhubarb forcer. Cover an established crown in winter and you can bring the harvest forward even further, producing tender, pinker stems with a sweeter flavour. Leave it uncovered and it will still provide a useful naturally early crop. A vigorous, heavy-cropping variety with the RHS Recommended: Award of Garden Merit, ‘Timperley Early’ is a great choice for anyone who looks forward to the first homegrown rhubarb of the year. Grow more than one crown and you can rotate which plant you force, allowing the others time to recover.
