Everlastings are a group of flowering plants known for their ability to retain their shape and color even after drying. They belong to the family Asteraceae and are often used in dried flower arrangements due to their long-lasting nature. Common species include Helichrysum and Xerochrysum, which are popular for their vibrant colors and unique textures. These plants thrive in sunny, well-drained environments and are typically found in regions with a Mediterranean climate. Everlastings are also valued in gardens for their low maintenance and drought-resistant qualities, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add enduring beauty to their landscapes.
