Rheum Compactum Var. Orientale

Rheum compactum var. orientale is a unique variant of the rhubarb plant known for its striking appearance and medicinal properties. Native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, this plant thrives in cool, temperate climates with well-drained soil. Its thick, fleshy leaves and tall, erect stems make it a distinctive addition to both gardens and herbal collections. The plant has been traditionally used in folk medicine for its potential health benefits. Despite its ornamental value, it requires careful handling due to its toxic leaves and stems.
