Rheum palmatum v. tanguticum ‘Rote Auslese’
at Digging Dog
Ornamental Rhubarb
Rheums require deep, rich soil and appreciate mulching in the summer to keep their roots cool, as they detest extreme heat. Rheum palmatum v. tanguticum ‘Rote Auslese’ 
Rote Auslese means “Red Selection”.
One of the most pleasing of the tall ornamental rhubarbs, this prehistoric-looking specimen has colossal, divided leaves, reddish bronze at first, becoming dark green with purple undersides, and eventually quite red in the fall. Airy maroon panicles are produced atop the towering flower stems.
For a bold vignette, stage with other dynamic performers such as Veronicastrum ‘Erica’, and Hemerocallis middendorffii.
Blooms June–July. Size: 6-1/2' high x 5' wide; hardy to zone 5. Rheum palmatum v. tanguticum ‘Rote Auslese’ (p-0715)
