The colour of Rhubarb sticks is determined by:
- variety – later varieties hold their colour longer
- growth rate – in Spring the rhubarb stick grows slowly so the colour is retained further along its length of stick. Later as the season warms up, the stick grows faster and the colour disappears, turning the stick green.
An exception is Cawood Delight, a late variety harvesting from late May, which keeps a fantastic dep red stick.
