In today's video I talk about winter care and the easy overwintering method for Gunnera manicata / cryptica - the 'Giant Brazilian Rhubarb'! With giant leaves, this huge plant is one of my absolute favourites and is a must have exotic plant in my UK tropical style jungle garden. As we enter mid-November, it's time to cut it back here and I talk through my steps to protect this beast of a plant from hard frosts and prolonged winter freezes. I also talk about Gunnera spring care tips, how to protect from late frosts and also how I'd recommend overwintering or winterizing young and potted plants. If you want to know more about winter care and overwintering other tropical style, exotic and jungle garden plants then check out my overwintering playlist and as always, feel free to leave a comment if you want any more info or to share your experiences.
