PR821 DINOSAUR FOOD SEEDS
Gunnera manicata
These magnificent, big, bold perennials grow up to 8 feet tall with enormous leaves that can grow
4-8 feet across. Grown well these can become the ultimate conservation piece and children and
adults love to be photographed in front of it. Where winters are mild, the leaves will last more
than 1 year but in colder climates the leaves die-back to the roots in winter. Needs high humidity
and moist soil and thrives next to streams or pools. Best in cool summer areas, it is rarely
successful in hot or dry climates. Usually germinates in 30-90 days. Using bottom-heat and a
humidity dome is highly recommended. Not a plant for the average gardener, it is best suited to
experienced collectors. Winter hardy to zone 7. Packet is 50 seeds.
PR4901 FRILLED DINOSAUR FOOD SEEDS
Gunnera tinctoria
A little smaller, to about 6 feet tall with frilled leaves that reach 4-6 feet across. Winter hardy to zone 7.
Packet is 50 seeds.
