Gunnera over wintering
by Betsy
(Great Barrington MA)
How should I winter over Gunnera in a zone 5. Should I keep it's roots damp or should I let it go dormant. Should I put it in a dark basement or keep it in a cool sunny spot.
Doug says that 1) frost free 2) cool so it goes dormant (40'sF and not freezing) 3) dampish - not bone dry and not swampy
Light is largely irrelevant once it goes dormant - you can keep it in either light or dark. As a first try, I'd leave it cool and well lit (and in your sight so you know when to water or ignore) :-)
Not a hard plant to overwinter. Make an environment that's a USDA zone 7 and you're good to go. :-)
