This Puya is grown in parks and Botanical Gardens across the World. It grows to 5 feet tall with clumps of rosette spined green leaves on the bottom. The flowers are displayed on an inflorescence that reaches 5 feet tall. The unusual colors are shown in the flowers with turquoise-blue on the petals and bright orange stamens. The color combination is out of this World. They are in bloom from late winter until early spring.
