Gunnera

[Rheghead]

I bought a gunnera last year and it has survived our winter in the garden. Just wanted everyone else to know so that they may have the confidence to get one.

Yup mine survived as well, as did my tree ferns and fig tree, really very surprised but happy.

Yep, mine survived for the last few years right out in the open without any protection whatsoever.
We have a stream that runs through our proprty and I came across one that is underneath some trees and grows huge. :)

has anyone seen the Gunnera at Dunrobin?

They have gunnera for sale at Castletown. They didn't last year, mind you he does try new things there.

has anyone seen the Gunnera at Dunrobin?

Yep, amazing isn't it? Hope mine grows even half that size.

I have a Fatsia just stuck right out in the open ground here too and even thats doing really well. The wind batters it in the new year a tad but it comes back with a vengence. :)
