Hi, we are in Toowoomba Queensland. Have Black Soil. Have tried several times to grow rhubard with the same results. Plant does extremly well for a few months, then you can see it gradually dying from the ground up. We have tried partial shade,and full sun. Also tried in pots. I have just bought another 4 plants

I have never grown it. Sounds like it might die off in winter and reshoot in spring. Loosen up your soil with compost etc. Even put it in a raised bed for drainage. Plant Sept - Oct. Don't over water it. Read up on the internet.
