    If you live near Colchester you are welcome to the baby, it needs to in the soil not a pot

    It'll be fine for a while as long as you water it.

    I have a gunnera in a pot while it waited to be big enough to survive outside and then we moved to a warmer, dryer garden in France and had to wait for the pond and its banks to be cleaned.   Now I'm waiting for OH to scramble down the bank and clear a hole for it.  I shall have to cut it out of its pot to plant it.

    Thanks Obelixx  it is a pot with a water reservoir but still looking like it would be happier in the ground

    How big is your watering can?   It does look well on it.   I use the hose pipe and a spray gun.
