Named after Queen Victoria’s husband, the heirloom variety ‘Prince Albert’ has been around for over a hundred years. With reddish-green stalks that turn rose-pink when cooked, ‘Prince Albert’ makes a gorgeous pie filling or jam.
Stalks are larger and juicier than other varieties, with a perfect blend of tartness and sweetness. Some even say ‘Prince Albert’ has the best flavor of all the varieties, but it depends on who you ask.
Ideal for forcing indoors or growing outdoors in Zones 3-8, harvest this variety in early April to late May for the best flavor. The plant grows anywhere from three to four feet tall and wide.
