Gunnera is one of the biggest and most spectacular, architectural, herbaceous plants, commonly thought of as giant rhubarb. With gigantic, deeply lobed, deep green leaves up to 2 metres (6ft) across. The plants need a lot of space because it is difficult to restrict their size. They look best standing as specimen plants in a damp bog garden, or beside a large pond where the reflections reveal the undersides of the leaves. The stalks hold tiny red-brown flowers on erect panicles up to 1m (3ft) in height, followed by small red berry-like fruits. The fat growth buds clustered in the crown are prone to frost damage, so pile the dead leaves and stems into a mound over the plants in autumn for winter protection. Gunnera manicata is easy to grow. Ggood soil with steady moisture, by a pond or stream perhaps, and a great deal of space is all you need to enjoy this magnificent plant
