Hard to tell, but try it. Most sources advise, as we do above, that rhubarb needs “full sun.” That usually means around 8 hours of sun, including midday/afternoon sun. If there is any way you can give the plant a southern exposure—even as a single plant outside of your plot—you may be able to increase its sunshine. If critters are a concern, know that they seldom go after (eat) it, and it will remain pretty self-contained for 4, 5, or even 6 years (before dividing is needed). Just prep the soil with rich organic matter. Hope it succeeds for you!
