We had rhubarb at my house growing up. I guess it was planted at some point, but they're extremely low maintenance and just kinda spreads and grows on their own. Not too much spreading, but seemingly enough to survive and thrive in the same area for over 30 years.

My parents still live there, and so does the rhubarb. It's in northern Sweden, so cold winters and mild summers, with the occasional 2 week heatwave of getting into the +30c's

Not sure what your climate is like, but I'd guess they'll do great! 😊

I've hedged my bets & placed the other 2 in totally different locations.

This is the one most likely to survive.

We don't get much hotter than 30⁰C but it's humid for long periods through summer. Lots of pressure from disease & pests.

Hoping they'll get strong through the winter.

They look happier than mine do at the moment!

I'm sure they'll perk up now that the rain has arrived.

You will likely be fine then that's like England when it's hot, they generally like the moisture and humidity and not much eats because of the oxalic acid content. I used to occasionally see snails eating the leaves but that's about it and typically when the leaves are young. If its gets too dry they sometimes pack up early and nearly always come back anyway.

Sometimes you've just got to let nature do it's thing.
