Yes, rhubarb should be cut back before it goes to seed to encourage healthier growth. Allowing it to flower and go to seed can divert energy away from producing edible stalks, resulting in smaller and less flavorful harvests. Cutting the flower stalks early helps maintain the plant's vigor and can improve future yields.
