I worked at a nursery that grew "Victoria" rhubarb from seed (that's the way
most of that variety is grown) and while there was definite variation from
seed, all of the seedlings were useable. About the "worst" thing you might
get is a type with green stalks. I don't consider that a problem, but some
people insist on colored stalks.
