Rheum palmatum - tanguticum

Also known as Ornamental Rhubarb, Rheum palmatum var. tanguticum is a bold architectural perennial that brings drama and grandeur to the garden. Its massive, deeply lobed leaves emerge in shades of bronze-red before maturing to deep green with striking reddish undersides. In early to mid-summer, it sends up towering spikes of airy red to pink flower panicles, followed by ornamental seed heads that extend interest into autumn. Perfect for large borders, naturalistic gardens, or as a statement specimen, this hardy perennial thrives in moist, fertile soil.
