You got a reply to your original post, didn't you see it?
I'm afraid I can't help you myself as I don't have any, I think it looks

sorry..

Just googled it as not seen one before , looking at the size some grow hope
you have a big garden. Looks like a lot of effort for a boring looking plant
..
But each to there own

Which Gunnera is it?

manicata will go to 15 feet across [and more if it is really happy]; tinctoria to about 8 feet.
