Although it is possible to grow rhubarb from seed, rhubarb planting using root stock, or crowns, is the favoured method for growing rhubarb, especially in Northern climates. The best time to plant rhubarb from root stock or crowns, (also referred to as  rhizomes ), is in early spring. Once planted, it will thrive in the cooler spring temperatures and will really begin to grow once the soil temperature reaches above 40 Â° F.
Where to Grow Rhubarb Plants. Rhubarb crowns and budded pieces are best planted in the spring or autumn while the soil is warm and moist. Potted rhubarb plants can be planted out at any time of the year so long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or suffering from drought.hen planting rhubarb crowns or budded âpiecesâ, set them so that the top of the crown sits 3cm (1) below soil level. If you are gardening on a heavy, wet soil then plant them slightly higher, so that the top of the crown sits at ground level. This will help to prevent crown rot.
