I grew it for a couple of years with some success about 35 years ago but can't remember when I planted it out. I do remember that it lasted for two full years down here but I think we had a good cold winter because in the summer of the second year all but one plant died. I didn't get much of a crop the first year as the stalks were quite small but the second years crop was nice and I thought I was on my way to having plenty of rhubarb pie only to see almost all of them die and not return. I was so frustrated with the lose that I never planted them again. Kinda like my experience with asparagus down here.
Good luck Dawg.
Bill
