This Jurassic Gunnera tinctoria, collected in southern Chile, seems to be winning the battle for space over an abundantly flowered Hydrangea longipes, native to Sichuan, China. Yet the gunnera will die down for the winter while the woody hydrangea won’t. At Windcliff, the combination of varying soil composition, mild climate, and regular rainfall allows for such an exceptional array of plants to be seamlessly grown together.
