Description

The listing, Puya alpestris-VIVID! exotic Sapphire Tower-5 fresh seeds has ended.

Puya alpestris
Sapphire Tower

The 5' blooming stalk of this Bromeliad is absolutely amazing. Its intense blue color is difficult to believe much less describe. Luminous, metallic turquoise, a color you might paint a race car. Plus it has bright orange stamens.

The large clumping rosettes of spiky grass-like foliage are handsome in their own right, and look good year round in a xeriscape garden. Then comes a 5' tall flower spike that explodes with metallic blue blossoms. Hummingbirds love them, and the branches provide convenient perches.

Native to Southern Chile, Puya alpestris thrives in zones 9-11, is utterly drought tolerant and hardy to 20-25° F.

Surface sow the tiny seeds on the surface of a sandy medium and keep warm. Germination is erratic.
