Hailing from South America and also known as Giant Rhubarb this herbaceous plant is an absolute monster and is guaranteed to add a 'Jurassic' feel to your garden.
It needs plenty of space in a moist sunny border as it forms a succession of huge stately parasol leaves atop a curious furry rhizome. The pinkish flowers are tiny and insignificant but are borne on conspicuous spiky stems.
Beside a pond or stream with room to reach its full potential, this plant is one of the most impressive that can be grown in the UK!
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant straight out.
