Overview

Native to Chile. This large, rosette-forming plant is valued for its silver-white foliage and dark blue-purple flowers, thriving in arid environments and adding a distinctive silvery hue to gardens. Silver Puya forms a large rosette that can reach 2-3 feet tall and spread 6-8 feet wide. The narrow, slightly recurved leaves have sharp teeth along the margins. Thrives in full sun with low water needs, ideal for coastal gardens with well-drained soil. It is hardy down to 18°F but prefers to be kept dry during cold weather.
