Gunnera, anyone???

17 years ago

Does anyone here grow petasites? Love 'em? Hate 'em? What??

I would like to grow one in a pot, sitting in my pond. I know it has to be a really big pot- the roots get huge and the leaves up to 4' across. I hope to heck they don't get 12' tall, tho!

A friend from NC share the solid green and the variegated one with me last weekend at a DG SARU in NC- what alot of initials!

Anyway, I'm giving the solid one to my DIL Sandy to grow in her pond and I am keeping the so-called smaller growing one, the variegated. They are invasive, thus the pots! I've already had enough plants try to take over my garden world- ask me about Italian Arum, my latest foe!!!

Does anyone have any advice for me and Sandy? Like ............. RUN!!!!! lol! Folks say you can actually see them grow !
