EPA Level III Ecoregion
Central Basin and Range
934 native plants for the Central Basin and Range ecoregion (Reno area).
The Central Basin and Range is sagebrush country: the high desert between the Sierra Nevada and the Wasatch Front, including Reno, Carson City, and the Salt Lake Valley’s western edges. Cold winters, hot dry summers, and alkaline soils rule out most conventional landscaping. Natives like basin wildrye, rabbitbrush, and firecracker penstemon evolved for exactly these conditions.
Conditions: Alkaline, often salty basin soils, under 12 inches of rainfall, cold winters and hot arid summers.
Cities and areas: Reno, Salt Lake City, Carson City, Elko, Bishop.
