Yes Patty the common gunnera gets huge!!! AKA Dinosaur food, Poor mans umbrella. They call it poor mans umbrella in the native area it is from because many insects feed on it and make a bunch of little hole, thus making a leaky umbrella.I carry both at the nursery. I will take many pics once I finish the viv. The dwarf gunnera I have has leaves the size of a dime and it is not as much of a ground cover as the pic you see, but I am sure it could be if I let it. I would like to keep it it more of clumps
