Hello. I am live in Japan,and wonder if I can grow Rhubarb in my town. Here, we have snow in winter and it is probablly no problem, but in summer, we have kind of hot weather and lots of rain.. For example, in July: precipitation is 229.9mm and average temperature is 24.2celcius(highest 29.2celcius) in August: precipitation is 154.9mm and average temperature is 25.1celcius.(highest 34.0celcius) Is it possible to grow the deep red varirties of rhubarb? If there are any suggestion of good varieties, please let me know. Here,in Japan,I don't get much info. about Rhubarbs. thank you.
