I thought this was one of the green varieties…that is, it never really turns red the way some of the others do. Here is a source for information on red vs green rhubarb: http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/rhubarb-varieties.html#TOC7

Hi Janietta, I have two crowns – Victoria and Timperley early that I planted too close together. That’s something I need to remedy later this year. At the mo they are both green, so im not sure which one is ready for pulling, as I can’t remember which is which. The Timperley should go pink, if my memory serves me right and the Victoria a little pink, or is that the other way round. Anyway, at the mo I keep lifting the leaves up and taking a peek and there’s no colour there at all. That will teach me to label things in future :)

I’m pretty sure the Victoria (which is what I thought they all were…didn’t read far enough in the title) is pretty much the greenest of the rhubarb, and also the most productive.
