As one of the largest perennials on earth, it’s no wonder Gunnera tinctoria is often referred to as Dinosaur Food. These clump-forming, herbaceous plants make an impressive statement around wet outdoor spaces (water gardens, rain gardens, ponds, bogs, etc.) with massive, palmate foliage. Grows to 8 feet tall and likes partial shade to partial sun. Photo courtesy of Little Prince.
