ID Please

Can anyone id this for me, had it about 3 years so has survived both bad winters leaves are still only small at the moment but get over 12 inches round I think produces a flower spike but cant remember , bought it at a rare Plant sale for £1.00 no label on and the lady had forgot what it was called, I know it likes damp and half shade.

Looks like a Rheum.
They do like damp areas and can get quite large. It's related to Rhubarb and once established it will throw up a tall, quite impressive flower spike at this time of year.

 

I think it's a peltiphyllum, previously known as darmera.

I do love a peltate leaf.

 

Doesn't look right for a Rheum to me; leaves too rough looking, similar to Gunnera though, perhaps a rare smaller variety??

 

Didn't think of that one , if it is that don't they usually flower before the leaves appear??? or am I thinking of something else?

 

Trunky

I think it has a white flower spike , and its later in the year

Duh. I've even got one and I just couldn't think of the name. Thanks for reminding me, I'd better put a label in.
