Help me identify this plant

Hello Allan 👋 Thank you for posting what we hope will be the first of many photos. 👏

You can find other like-minded gardeners by tapping on Discover and then "Popular" or "Recommended". There you will see other great photos of plants and gardens and you can of course “follow” anyone that you see there should you like to do so!

Should you ever need to reply to a message in your feed or just want to say 'hello', simply @username an individual i.e. @teamgardentags and that person will get an alert in their profile. Really hope this is helpful and you enjoy using GT! 😃

Thanks also for asking us to help identify your plant. Fellow GT'ers are you able to help Allan? @kathy @David @barbaramatthews @justin @richard.spicer.7906 @thedanielrichards @scorob @grahamric

How big are the leaves? It looks like gunnera manicata, it's leaves are the size of umbrellas!

My first thought was Gunnera (Giant Rhubarb) like @joanboston but it doesn't look tall enough. Then I thought Indian Rhubarb so am calling on @Garyg as he has both in hos garden to take a look 👀👌

Might it be a type of rheum? If it flowers that might help identification.

We had a gunnera in our previus garden. We sunk it in a large pot to keep it smaller and it worked well.

Looks like indian rhubarb (darmera) the leaves are a bit smaller and smoother than gunnera.

I think they flower early spring before the leaves appear.
