- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June
- Flower colour: white, pink or crimson

Tall spires of white, pink or crimson flowers in early summer held proudly above coarsely toothed, reddish-green leaves becoming dark green with age. This form of Chinese rhubarb has larger leaves than other varieties, often purple-tinted. Requiring considerably less space than gunnera, it's an excellent architectural plant for the moist margins of a medium-sized domestic pond. - Garden care: Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
- CAUTION toxic if eaten
