Spring to Autumn
- Gunnera magellanica is a dwarf variety of Gunnera commonly known as The Devil’s Strawberry, due to the small berry-like fruit that it produces. This low growing mat forming herbaceous perennial native to South America has attractive glossy green crinkle-edged leaves that can grow up to 6 cm across. It forms attractive interwoven foliage creating a green version of a Greek mosaic. During the Summer months, tiny panicles of green flowers form, which develop into orange/red fruit.
- This plant will grow rapidly when planted in dappled shade and in heavy damp soil or in the mud at the edge of a pond. It is ideal for bog gardens, ground cover, rock and waterside gardens.
Dappled shade
Moderate watering
This plant is popular, as it is the hardiest creeping mini Gunenera and can survive down to -10 degrees Celsius. In a cold winter there may be some damage to the leaves and stems but as this plant is a perennial it will make a full recovery. During the Autumn, trim back dead foliage to prolong growth.
