If your preference is for masses of enormous leaves, just remove a selection of the flowers as they appear to encourage extra foliage growth. They will grow throughout the UK but\u00a0we do recommend a few precautions to protect the plants during\u00a0winter, fold\u00a0the leaves in and over the crown of the plant in late autumn, this\u00a0will protect the most vulnerable part through the frosty months until the spring when the crown begins its\u00a0re-growth and the impressive leaves emerge once again. If you live in an area that is subject to particularly harsh winter conditions, we do recommend lifting the plant. During the Spring,\u00a0between March and May is the best time to divide the plants where necessary and this is the best\u00a0time for planting these giant, wondrous specimens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4677\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/gunnera\/gunnera-manicata.html\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4677\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4677\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gunnera-manicata-leaves-emerging.jpg\" alt=\"Gunnera Manicata leaves emerging in Springtime, buy UK\" width=\"700\" height=\"623\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4677\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gunnera Manicata leaves emerging in Springtime<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4678\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/gunnera-manicata\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4678\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4678\" class=\"wp-image-4678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gunnera-manicata-leaves-merging-springtime.jpg\" alt=\"Gunnera growth in Spring, for sale online UK\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gunnera growth in Spring<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Planting Tip<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0&#8211; Gunnera Manicata is ideal for planting &#8211; near water, in a jungle garden for architectural interest.<br \/>\nAwarded the prestigious <em><strong>RHS Award of Garden Merit<\/strong><\/em> in 1993 a sure sign that it will perform well in most UK gardens.<br \/>\nParamount Plants is a plant centre in North London, specialising in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/hardy-palms.html\">hardy\u00a0palms<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/succulents.html\">hardy succulents and spiky plants<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gunnera Manicata is an ornamental perennial that is renowned for having the largest leaves of any plant\u00a0you can grow outside in the UK climate, a single leaf\u00a0has been recorded as reaching up to 11 feet across, although huge, this stupendous size is not that common.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[32,60,6],"class_list":["post-4665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardy-tropical-plants","tag-architectural-plants","tag-buy-plants-online","tag-tropical-plants"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v26.6) -
