Better in cooler climates, but can be grown in shady areas of warm climates. You can lift and divide rhubarb to make more plants . It is best to do this when the plant is dormant ( or at least less actively growing) in winter or late autumn.

Where does rhubarb grow in South Africa?

Prepare a space for your plants in a full sun or semi-shade position by removing all weeds, stones and large clots and digging in generous amounts of compost.

Ensure that the soil is well-drained – rhubarb doesn’t enjoy being waterlogged as this can cause crown rot.

Choose a sunny spot. Rhubarb is cold hardy and drought tolerant. After growth stops in the fall, the plants go dormant, and require a period below 4°C (40°F) to stimulate good spring bud growth.

All you need to do is water the plant thoroughly and then watch your rhubarb grow. You’ll be able to harvest your rhubarb in about two years from the time the seeds first germinated, when stalks are 12-18 inches long.
