Die eingeführte Pflanze Gunnera fällt auf den Färöern durch ihre großen Blätter und schnelles Wachstum auf. Ihre Auswirkungen auf die heimische Vegetation werden kontrovers diskutiert.

BLOG: Gunnera - giant rhubarb to be banned in the UK after research. Gardeners have been living with an invasive hybrid for decades, not the benign big-leaved beauty we thought it was! Pictured clump is at Dunvegan Castle, Skye.

Gunnera or giant rhubarb banned in the UK after study - MandyCanUDigIt

A blow for gardeners who love big leaves, Gunnera or giant rhubarb is to be banned by the UK government – similar to Japanese knotweed.

In my wild woodland garden, which has boggy parts, in a section which is left completely undisturbed, I planted a #Gunnera. It towers over the other grasses and brambles.
I love the shade of green, a slightly acidic shade which gives it an ability to pop out prominently from the other foliage and undergrowth.
I allowed the birds song to announce the splendour of the scene rather than give a narrative of the scene myself.
