Dinosaur Food, Gunnera manicata 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.
