Puya chilensis exclude_rebuy It can tolerate slightly warmerThe Puya chilensis, or Chilean Puya, is one of the most dramatic architectural plants you can grow outdoors in the UK. A terrestrial bromeliad from the dry hillsides of central Chile, it forms a large rosette of arching, silvery, viciously hook spined leaves, and in time sends up a towering spike of waxy chartreuse green flowers that can reach well over a metre. This is a genuine statement plant for a hot, dry border, a gravel garden or a big pot.
