Puya mirabilis

Green comet! A fast growing terrestrial bromeliad with bright shiny-green leaves that are slightly prickly at their base. This rosette of whispy foliage recurves back giving the plant the look of a comet! The large, nodding flowers resemble species gladiolus and are a smart 'Martha Stewart' chartreuse. This species flowers in 3 to 4 years from seed, very quick for a Puya. Cold hardiness tested to north Gainesville, Florida. Native to South America. We were offering this plant as Puya alpestris but have had it identified as Puya mirabilis.
