Description
As one of the largest perennials on earth, it’s no wonder Gunnera tinctoria is often referred to as Dinosaur Food. These clump-forming, herbaceous plants make an impressive statement around wet outdoor spaces (water gardens, rain gardens, ponds, bogs, etc.) with massive, palmate foliage.
When grown under ideal conditions – partial shade with moist to boggy soil – Gunnera are remarkably low-maintenance and can form 10-foot-tall and 14-foot-wide clumps. However, please note that these gentle giants thrive outdoors in USDA Zones 7 to 10.
