I would like to grow gunnera. However I've noticed that the garden centres
don't exactly give them away!

Has anyone experience of growing them from seed and is this a sensible
option? If so where might I obtain seed?

Don't rule out the garden centres as gunnera grows quickly and usually forms
seperate crowns which can be divided- I got 4 plants from one potbound
purchase.They flower easily-like a thin fir tree-which is a source of seed.
I've read that, if the seeds do come through the, seedlings need a bit of
looking after for the first year.
