EPA Level III Ecoregion
Southern California Mountains
583 native plants for the Southern California Mountains ecoregion (San Bernardino area).
The Southern California Mountains rise between the coastal plain and the desert, covering the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and Santa Ana ranges along with the mountain towns tucked into them like Big Bear Lake, Idyllwild, and Wrightwood. Elevation changes the rules: winters bring real frost and snow above the chaparral belt, summers stay long and dry, and fire is part of how this landscape works. Natives such as bigberry manzanita, mountain mahogany, and scarlet bugler penstemon are built for that swing and stay presentable through a dry season that flattens plants carried up from the coast.
Conditions: Granitic, rocky slope soils, 15–40 inches of annual precipitation with snow above roughly 5,000 feet, long dry summers.
Cities and areas: San Bernardino, Big Bear Lake, Idyllwild, Wrightwood, Lake Arrowhead, Julian.
