They need loads of water
I cover it each year with its own leaves for protection
This is it as it started off in May

I really need to move in with you Sam or I need to move to the Pacific Northwest where these grow! Chili is out of the question! That is my dream plant to be able to grow! Way to much heat & humidity here in Western North Carolina for them

My gunnera is 5 years old now and has lots of leaves, but no height.
The leaves open as soon as they sprout and never get more than 18 inches wide or 2 feet high.
Last winter I dug it up. The rootball weighed over 200 pounds. I levered it out of the way and dug the hole much bigger then lined the hole with a heavy duty sheet and replaced the soil mixed with a slow release granular fertiliser.
This year it has grown exactly the same height.
Frustrated is the word that comess to mind.
