{"title":"Rhubarb Seeds","description":"Rhubarb seeds develop into large, leafy perennial plants that can live for decades. They are known for their tart, red stalks, which are most often used in desserts. Thriving in cool weather, rhubarb prefers to be in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, fertile soil. This hardy plant produces for many years. While the stalks are edible and delicious, it's important to remember that rhubarb leaves are toxic and should never be consumed.","products":[{"product_id":"victoria-rhubarb-seeds","title":"Victoria Rhubarb Seeds – Heirloom Perennial for Cool Climates","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictoria Rhubarb Seeds (\u003cem\u003eRheum rhabarbarum\u003c\/em\u003e) from Survival Garden Seeds allow gardeners to grow a classic heirloom perennial known for its deep crimson-red stalks, dependable productivity, and rich sweet-tart flavor.
