Description:
Puya berteroniana, the Blue Puya, is one of the largest
genera in the Pineapple Family, Bromeliaceae. Most of its species are
concentrated along the Andes Mountain range of South America, some at altitudes
up to nearly 5000 meters. Very few Puya species have become popular in
cultivation. It can reach 6-10 feet tall. The Blue Puya shows full beauty of
color and form in every way and appears to be from another world. The large
flower stalks of this plant rise from the masses of curling, silvery foliage,
displaying deep turquoise blue flowers, 2″ in diameter, and in the center
of the flowers, beaming out, are the highly contrasting orange anthers
attracting birds, bees and other insects. Hardiness zones 8-11, (4°C/40°F,
-10°C/15°F) in Winter. Puya berteroniana, the Blue Puya, is one of the
Southernmost species of Puya and consequently more frost-hardy than many of the
other species. They are easily grown outside with no protection in lower zone
8. In colder areas plant in a container. It enjoys very dry, well drained sandy
soil. Grow in full sun or part shade. The seed can be directly sown. Procure light
and warm temperature and a moist to dry soil. Grow like cacti. Germination is
usually quick, 2-4 weeks, maybe more, don’t give up.
