Gunnera manicata
Chilean Rhubarb
Gunnera Manicata has enormous foliage and works well in very moist conditions even in the pond! If you want to create a massive display of large leaves this is the plant. Gunnera Manicata is not always a hardy plant and should be lifted to protect from severe winters and kept dry. Or wrap the old leaves which die in the winter over the crown.
