Wait until the second season to harvest. Be aware that rhubarb leaves are poisonous. Hardy in zones 3 to 8 and in zone 2 with winter protection.

No luck with this bare-root plant.
I had great hopes for this rhubarb. The root section was large and firm with at least three eyes. I planted it in a large pot so I could keep an eye on it and make sure it got TLC. No growth whatsoever. It happens with bare-root plants so I'm not totally surprised but my strawberry-rhubarb pie making wife is disappointed. It's getting late in season, but I may try another plant in the interest of harmony in the home.

I just planted the dry root a week ago. It looked dead. SURPRISE! It came up in one week and is looking good. I may even have a few to cut this year. :) I am thrilled with this plant!
