Growing Rhubarb

I have just bought some rhubarb crowns and was wondering which would be the best spot to plant them- 1. In my vegie plot which gets sun all year round? 2. In another bed which gets no sun in Winter and full sun in Summer? I am in Hobart. Many thanks, Sue

It says - shady areas in warm climates. It would probably grow in the shade but not as good as in the sun. Depends how big your garden is and how much area you want the rhubarb to have.
