That sounds interesting, 2 of my favourites in one! Can I ask which garden centre you saw it in?

It's probably a variety with really pink stems, or really sweet tasting. Either way, ask them what the proper variety name is. At £1. 99 I think I would take a chance and buy it, but I would still like to know the proper name for it.

http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/rhubarb-varieties.htm - This list of rhubarb varieties has Strawberry listed and apparently it could be "Victoria" As Rustylady says, it only refers to the stem colour.

I bought two Strawberry and a Timperley early both £1.99 ( Taylors product no; veg 4 and veg 5 ) at Endsleigh Garden Centre Ivybridge near Plymouth.
