Late last summer we made a bog garden and planted inter alia a Gunnera
(sp?). It was quite big and cost us £20(!) So far this year there are
no signs of life, should there be by now (Leics)?

Mine, in Sussex, have been showing green shoots for about a week or so.

The leaf shoots on mine, in western Scotland, are 6" long.
