I just planted a bunch of Puya bertoniana seeds that I got from Chileflora. Hopefully some will come up!

I grew Puya alpestris, Puya beretoana (beretoniana) and Puya mirabilis from seed in Honolulu. They grew equally well in the arid lowlands and the high rainfall upper valleys. P. mirabilis will bloom in 2 years from seed at sea level in Hawai'i.
