Uvifera Cubensis
Cuban everlasting, scientifically known as Uvifera cubensis, is a unique and resilient plant native to the tropical regions of Cuba. This flowering species is characterized by its compact growth and vibrant, long-lasting blooms that add a splash of color to its natural habitat. Despite its name, it is not truly everlasting in the sense of perpetual blooming, but its flowers can persist for several weeks under optimal conditions. The plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for gardeners seeking drought-tolerant ornamentals. Its historical and ecological significance in Cuban landscapes further highlights its importance in both botany and local culture.
