My gunnera survives every winter and gets a bit larger. I simply take it's own leaves and put it over the corm, then top that with a partially filled leaf bag for insulation so the snow piles on top of it.

For bamboo lovers out there, here's how I can overwinter some temperate bamboos of all different sizes in zone 6.
