Solariumia

Solariumia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Mediterranean region and the Canary Islands. The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Solariumia species are known for their attractive flowers and are often cultivated as ornamental plants. The most well-known species is Solariumia viridis, commonly known as the green solariumia or the green solarium. This species is characterized by its bright green leaves and small, yellow flowers that bloom in the summer. Solariumia plants are typically grown in gardens and as houseplants due to their low maintenance requirements and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions. They are also used in landscaping for their attractive foliage and flowers. Solariumia species are perennial plants, meaning they live for more than two years, and they can grow up to 30-60 cm in height. They prefer well-drained soil and partial shade, but can tolerate full sun. Solariumia plants are not known to have any significant medicinal or culinary uses, but they are valued for their ornamental qualities.
