Timperley Early is so-called because it is one of the earliest rhubarb varieties available, producing deliciously sweet and tender stems that are ready for picking from around March. It can also be forced for an even earlier crop—around February time. Rhubarb Timperley Early has won the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliable performance in the garden and is a standout choice for those looking to grow their own fruit at home. AKA Rheum x hybridum 'Timperley Early', RHEUM rhabarbarum Timperley Early
