    There are between 60 to 100 varieties of Rhubarb!
    I find that I can keep my supply of Rhubarb going throughout the season by always leaving 1/3 on the plant.

    This article lists some of the most common, though you may find others in your local garden centers.

    Good companion plants for rhubarb are onions & garlic, and also members of the brassica family (cabbage, kale, broccoli, turnips - etc).

    I also plant my rhubarb among my Hydrangea and that works well!

    The most likely issue is water. Water a couple times a week with a slow deep watering.
