Plant Description
Gunnera manicata, often referred to as giant rhubarb or Brazilian gunnera, is a striking perennial known for its massive leaves and imposing presence. The leaves can reach up to 6-8 feet in diameter, with a coarse, deeply veined texture and spiky edges. The plant itself can grow up to 10 feet tall, creating a dramatic, tropical effect in gardens. In late spring to early summer, flower spikes emerge, bearing small, red-green flowers that add an extra layer of interest. The stems are thick and stout, covered with prickly bristles. This plant thrives in moist, boggy conditions and makes a bold statement in any landscape.
