GUNNERA SEEDS

The Gunnera genus, commonly known as Giant Rhubarb, is a bold and prehistoric-looking member of the Gunneraceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their massive, umbrella-like leaves that can span several feet across, creating dramatic architectural impact in gardens. Gunnera is ideal for adding a sense of grandeur to borders, water features, and damp areas.

Native to tropical and temperate regions of South America, Africa, and Asia, Gunnera thrives in rich, moist, and well-drained soils in sunny to partially shaded locations. These moisture-loving plants are particularly suited to pond edges and bog gardens. The species Gunnera manicata, or Chilean Rhubarb, is especially admired for its colossal leaves and striking presence in large garden landscapes.

The Gunnera genus combines dramatic foliage and ecological value, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking to create lush, eye-catching displays in damp or water-adjacent settings.
