About us

Founded in the 1960s by Antonino Palermo, the nursery soon evolved into a hub for water-wise plants, well-suited to the arid climate of south-east Sicily.

Today, Vivai Cuba is one of the world's major and most diversified sources for cultivated succulents and cacti, grown on-site, both indoors and outdoors.

Beyond cultivation, the nursery champions a sustainable, climate-conscious approach to landscaping—making it an active participant in the shift towards resilient garden and landscape design.
