Gunnera cryptica Perennial Plants x3 Pack 7cm – Legally Restricted Item
Description:
Gunnera cryptica is a dramatic architectural perennial prized for its bold foliage and tropical, exotic presence in the garden. This listing historically offered a 3‑pack of strong 7cm plants, ideal for planting near ponds, damp borders, and jungle-style gardens. Plants were supplied well-rooted and ready to grow on.
Important Regulatory Notice – Sale Now Prohibited
Due to current UK invasive‑species legislation, Gunnera cryptica is now banned from sale, purchase, trade, exchange, gifting, or distribution. Under the UK Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order, it is illegal to:
- Sell or advertise the plant for sale
- Buy or acquire it (including private sales or swaps)
- Give it away or trade it in any form
- Plant it in a way that risks spreading it
- Allow it to escape into the wild
For these reasons, this listing is presented for information only. No orders can be processed.

Why Is It Restricted?
Gunnera species have shown the ability to naturalise in the UK’s mild, wet climate. They can spread aggressively in wetland areas, displacing native plant species and impacting local habitats. The trading restrictions aim to prevent ecological harm and limit further spread.
