I live in Spain but I had the chance to travel to northern Europe dozens of times, where I learned to love rhubarb.

I really would love rhubarb to grow here but it is almost impossible to find, even in big cities.

my wife got a patch growing in the back garden after a few failed attempts now we have lots, it's also readily available in supermarkets here in the UK. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/rhubarb-crumble

Very common in France if you ever drive by. Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2. It’s also possible to grow from seeds, which you can buy online. It will require some dedication.

IME a very easy perennial, if you can prevent drought. Plant and forget. Like artichokes.

From what I know, not everywhere in France but in the north. It was impossible to me to find this month in Occitane, at least.
