Can Rhubarb be grown successfully in a container!not in a garden. I would like to plant some in a tall earthenware container.

I planted mine into a big tin bucket and it loves it.Was looking really sad when it was given to me and now it looks lush and healthy =)

Thankyou for that 'littlemissy1', went to Garden Centre this morning and they advised me to place the rhubarb in a large container.

Yes my understanding (like the others on this thread) is that Mitre 10 and Bunnings in our town sell the rhubarb plants, although I purchased mine from a Garden Centre here in Dunedin which I find hard to stay away from as they are selling some gorgeous stuff at the moment. Thankyou so much to all of you for your contributions.
