The rhubarbs include some small alpine species, and some dramatic giants. They all provide unusual and interesting structure, often with good autumn colour.
Rheum SDR5919 comes from stony slopes, high on a rarely visited mountain. It has sprays of pink flowers on short, loosely branched stems, and rounded, deep green leaves, turning red before they fade away in autumn.
