Soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting. Plant the seeds in a good seed starting mix. Seeds can be planted in peat pots for making transplanting them easier. Put pots in a sunny location. A heating cable will help speed the germination if the room temperature is below 70 degrees F.
Rhubarb seeds germinate quickly. Sometimes germinating in less than 10 days after planting. After germination and the seedling has a few sets of true leaves, place the seedlings outdoors (when temps are above 32 F) in a place that is protected from direct sun, wind, rain and freezing temps for about 10 days (be sure to keep them watered). After that, you can move them out to the garden
