Intrigued by gunnera and live it a hot Atlanta climate. I've read it
needs humid and cool summers. Any experience with this crazy plant in
zone 7-8? Any advice on Gunnera manicata vs. Gunnera other? I've got
a wet and shady backyard except for a curious mid-day 2-3 hr window of
hot sun. Thanks.

I recall seeing a website from someone in zone 6 with Gunnera. They were in
southern Ontario. As I recall, they "mulched" it with layers of used
carpeting.
