Urostachys Meridensis

Red sand verbena, scientifically known as Urostachys meridensis, is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. This species thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and is commonly found in desert landscapes, where it adds a splash of vibrant color. With its delicate pink or purple flowers, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and ecosystems. Despite its hardy nature, it is often overlooked due to its modest size and subtle appearance. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this rare and resilient plant from habitat loss and environmental changes.
