I'm a Pacific Northwest coast area gardener. Enjoy the process greatly. Prefer traditional and English flower garden styles. Happy gardening!

@farmgirl0827 this variety pretty large leaves. You can see compared to the hydrangea leaves next to it. Also, this is on the north side of the building so it receives zero direct sun. I really enjoy it!!! 😃

Is it edible? I have a spot like that, never gets direct sun.

It isn't Sue. It's supposed to flower but hasn't yet. This is the 3rd year. Found this site awhile ago that was helpful. http://www.rhubarb-central.com/ornamental-rhubarb.html
