Nuevo León Native Plants

Nuevo León’s rugged Sierra Madre Oriental hosts pine-oak forests, while lower slopes support thorn scrub and desert-adapted plants. Lechuguilla, sotol, and prickly pear cactus are common in arid areas. Seasonal rains bring blooms of desert marigold and yucca flowers. Riparian corridors nurture cottonwoods, willows, and lush understory plants.
