- Watering requirements: Rhubarb Victoria plants need consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Water them deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Rhubarb Victoria seeds is in early spring or late fall. This allows the seeds to establish roots before the growing season.
