You may have two different varieties or one is more mature than the other. Time will tell.

I saw some recently at Colourful Splendour Nursery in the Craighall Park area. It was the “Victoria” variety. Any Garden Shop should also be able to source for you - they get their stock from Doonholm nursery under the brand Healthy Living Herbs.

Any garden shops should have them, also supermarkets in their garden section sometimes have them. Or ebay sometimes have them. I brought good crowns from both ebay and from my local supermarket (look in the bulb area) only a month ago

Bunnings at Maroochydore Qld had them last week when I was there - so phone your local Bunnings.

I have a rhubarb plant and the leaves are turning yellow and red, what is wrong here.

Try and work out if you have the green leaf or the yellow leaf variety.

My rhubarb has been doing very well for a few years, just north of Sydney, in raised beds. I split them up last year and they have produced heaps of stems. In late November the leaves became dark and hard and crinkled - but stems look OK. I can't find any disease that would cause this. Is it disaster? I have kept water up to them, and the soil was well manured when I replanted them.

Did you have any really hot dry days - like a dry hot NW wind. This could/would burn them.
