Gunnera - manicata

Gunnera manicata, commonly called Giant Rhubarb or Brazilian Giant Rhubarb, is a spectacular architectural perennial known for enormous, deeply lobed green leaves that can reach 1–2 m (3–6.5 ft.) across. Its massive foliage is carried on stout, prickly stalks, creating a lush, tropical appearance and dramatic scale in large garden landscapes. Upright spikes of tiny reddish-brown flowers emerge around the base of the plant, adding unusual texture beneath the towering foliage. Native to Brazil, this moisture-loving plant performs best in rich, consistently moist soil in sun to partial shade and needs protection from severe winter cold.
