RHUBARB & CUSTARD (B-GRADE)

$28.00

These are B-grade tubers that experienced a little moisture loss in storage. All of these have active have sprouts and I would plant these without hesitation. Price reflects a 30% reduction from current retail. Please note that B-grade tubers vary in shape and size and show different levels of imperfections—some barely noticeable, others requiring extra care and attention. If this variability makes you uncomfortable or uncertain about achieving a successful outcome, please do not purchase B-grade tubers.

Tip: Placing tubers in a ventilated (partially to fully open) plastic bag with barely moist medium—my go-to is Pro-Mix, but potting soil, peat moss, vermiculite, wood shavings, or a mix of any of the above works fine—for a week encourages root formation. Having established roots before planting is especially helpful for B-grade tubers (particularly small ones), since they’re more vulnerable to unfavorable conditions—such as excess soil moisture, which a rootless tuber cannot absorb.

Rhubarb & Custard—the queen of collarettes. Gorgeous dusty-pink petals deepen to a rich rhubarb ring at the heart, creating a dramatic backdrop for the frilly, creamy custard collars, lightly kissed with red. Feminine, nostalgic, and deeply romantic—you can’t help falling in love with her. Blooms are a designer’s dream, and the plants make a lovely addition to any garden.

Photographed with Rhubarb & Custard are dahlias Valley Porcupine, Lee’s Pink Grapefruit, and KA’s Keltie Rose. A video of R&C can be found in the Video Gallery.
