Rhubarb |
|
Rhubarb, Rheum officinale is used as a laxative. It is used in Chinese for a number of abdominal complaints. It is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory if applied externally. It is easy to grow. Simply direct sow in the spring. I have to admit that I’m not one hundred percent sure this picture is of R. officinale. The plant was here when I moved in. There is another Rhubarb, R. palmatum which is similar. I’m fairly sure this is R. officinale though. Garden Rhubarb is Rheum x cultorum. You can get seed from me Horizon Herbs. |
