Cultural information: Gunnera is an enormously large clump forming annual suitable for only very large bogs. It looks similar to a fancy leaved Rhubarb. 

Gunnera is not winter hardy in Colorado and may be difficult to locate. Plant if full sun to partial shade in boggy or very moist soils... then stand back and watch your yard get smaller.
