Glaskins Perpetual
A tier
Glaskins Perpetual is valued for a long cropping window and green-to-red stalks that keep producing when other varieties slow—hence “perpetual” in garden marketing. Flavour is solid tart rhubarb for everyday puddings. A practical home-garden cultivar. Successive pulls through the allowed season; stop midsummer to rest crowns. Good jam and crumble all-rounder. Less about early force, more about extended harvest.
