Hello Kelli, As I understand Puyas are ground bromeliads found growing wild in the páramos of Colombia all the way south to northwestern Argentina, very high up in the mountains, with mist covering the mornings on the open steppes. I agree in that they are particularly elegant, somewhat similar to some Yuccas and also in an other sense to Cordyline. I wouldn't know how to get access to plant sources for Puyas here, since it comes from a distinctly peculiarand rather unique ecosystem . I'll do some research in the RHS about growing these beatiful plants in different environmental conditions, and will post with what I find. Thank you. Arturo.
