Gunnera is gunna go

I impulsively bought a pot of gunnera manicata, that giant-leaved plant I first saw near a stream at Great Dixter, England. But now I realize I don't have a stream or even a pond. So it won't survive in my RI land, especially since it's a weekend place and I wouldn't be there every day to water it.

So what should I do? It evidently needs constantly moist soil at its roots. And it is almost zone 7. We do have wetlands downhill, but the State monitors such places and I think won't allow anything to be planted there. We'd be fined if we did plant it there.

Does anyone else here have a gunnera?
