Product Description

The Puya mirabilis is a striking, fast-growing bromeliad native to the arid regions of Bolivia and Argentina. This unique plant forms a rosette of narrow, spiny, gray-green leaves, and sends up a tall, slender flower spike up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) in height. Its pale yellow-green flowers, with a delicate fragrance, bloom at night, attracting pollinators like moths and bats. Known for its drought tolerance and dramatic appearance, this species thrives in well-drained soils and adds an exotic touch to xeriscapes or container gardens.
