Gunnera by pond all protected

That's a fine example Mushy!

put my leaves over mine in pot to mushy,, they look to be rotting though, will they still be ok, or can it be to wet for them.:o)

Hope the protection isn't all down to that dragon!! Mushy, I have one little dragon in my garden....Clive. I would really like to have a few more....I feel they are a bit quirky...better than gnomes! I saw one in GC last week but OH wouldn't countenance it....I may sneak it in yet!! :))

Thats a beauty Mushy !

They'll be fine it a tradition to cover them with leaves.

Karen : Just go and get it put it the garden he'll never remember by spring I don't get cats down there anymore since his arrival :o))

Thanks Amy

thanx for that mushy :o)

Really? No more cats? Molly will be pleased!!

Does your dragon spit fire? I could do with one if it keeps the cats off.......lol your gunnera is a good size, have to keep ours small....unfortunately.

Only on Wednesdays and Saturdays LOL

;*))

Mushybanna:

Do the leaves typically die back in winter?

DD
Spitting fire !! Only on Wed.....:o))

Yes but you can bend or break them and fold them back over the crowns they will last all winter and when the weather gets warmer just cut them off and watch the new ones grow

Mushybanna:

Very interesting! I've never seen them like this before.

the dragon is brilliant and I love Gunnera but just don't have the space. Some lovely ones are to be seen at Chatsworth. Wonderfull day out. I shall be peeking alot on your site as not vert offee with tropical plants :)
