Can I move rhubarb plants to a different location? #921407

Asked November 04, 2025, 3:45 PM EST

I have some established rhubarb plants that I want to move to a different location in my garden. When is the best time to move them and do I need to wait after moving to harvest?

Hennepin County Minnesota

Expert Response

Spring or October are the best times to transplant rhubarb. Below is a link to an article with instruction on doing so. Once transplanted it is recommended to wait two seasons for harvest.
