I'd be interested in information/experience of the hardiness of Puya mirabilis. I overwintered a group of seedlings in a cold greenhouse (dipping to -5°C) last winter and wonder if they will survive outdoors.Gill
I think you would at least need to give some winter protection to your Puya if you were to plant it outside. I looked up the genus up in Botanica and most, including P. mirabilis, were described as hardy only to zone 9 (the exception being P. alpestris which will survive zone 8)
