EPA Level III Ecoregion
High Plains
854 native plants for the High Plains ecoregion (Lubbock area).
The High Plains run from the Texas panhandle around Lubbock and Amarillo north through western Kansas and Nebraska. It is high, flat, windy, and dry, and most of the little rain that does fall arrives in summer thunderstorms and evaporates fast. Natives like blue giant-hyssop, Missouri primrose, and Rocky Mountain blazing star are deep-rooted plants that reach water conventional turf and bedding annuals never find.
Conditions: Deep but dry loam over caliche, 15–22 inches of rain concentrated in summer storms, high wind, wide temperature swings.
Cities and areas: Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Clovis, Garden City, Scottsbluff.
