Well, I am totally jealous, David...have longed for a Gunnera for
many years.  They are just marginally hardy for me and, being plants
of cooler cloud forests, do not appreciate my hot, humid nights. 
But, one of these days I will give one a whirl.  I have read of
people growing it in either North or South Carolina - with lots of
TLC and its not reaching its huge potential, but surviving, so,
Andrea, there is hope:-)

World Plants Nursery has a very good page on Gunnera with information
about this marvelous plant and what it needs to grow successfully:
