IME they take several years to bulk up - but if you can give them ideal conditions I guess you will get results more quickly than I have done. Mine have been in about 5 years a...

Re: gunnera manicata

the guy I brought them from said they where well established crowns. what does that mean? To me it would mean a large plant. Gunnera take several years to get their "crown" built up big enough to put out monstrous leaves. But I'm not understanding what context the guy was referring ...

Re: gunnera manicata
