I've just acquired a potful of gunnera magellanica, the very small
one, from a village plant sale. Reading around, it prefers "damp soil" .
Can anyone who grows it tell me, if this means "feet in water" (like
Gunnera manicata enjoys) or merely "not bone dry"? Any tips?


If it's any help, Ray says marshy conditions are ideal. But definitely not
drying out.
