This is the ornamental rhubarb that is a perennial but is normally treated as a cool season annual that produces large colorful foliage and red fleshy leaf stems commonly called rhubarb sticks. It cannot tolerate hot weather so plant it early enough to enjoy the striking foliage and leaf stems during the spring.
