A Bit of History

Bred by Kristine Albrecht (KA’s Dahlias) in California, KA Rhubarb quickly became a sought-after variety thanks to its unique coloring and reliable growth habit. Its name, inspired by the deep red stalks of rhubarb, reflects the bold, edible-garden aesthetic it brings to ornamental beds. Admired by cut-flower growers and floral designers alike, KA Rhubarb’s long, strong stems and exceptional vase life make it both practical and breathtaking.
