My rhubarb plants are 20 years old and they were getting smaller leaves each year so this spring I decided to move them to an empty space near my compost pile. It gets some shade for part of the day but is generally sunny and we have had extremely hot temperatures this year.

All 4 plants settled in and are now HUGE and making the biggest leaves and stalks that I have ever seen. I don't know if this helps, but mine are growing happily at hot temperatures and they are in very loose and very fertile soil. I never water them. They had been growing in poor soil with a lot of shade when they looked so puny. We get cold winters of course in PA.
