Originating in the United Kingdom, it remains one of the most popular rhubarb varieties for its dependable growth and smooth, pleasantly tart flavor. The sturdy stalks are rosy red at the base, fading to green near the leaves, and hold their shape beautifully when cooked, making them ideal for pies, jams, sauces, and compotes.
