Growth patterns and location of plant communities in this zone are limited by the depth and duration of the snow pack. Subalpine meadows can be found covered in snow well into late June if not later. Wildflowers often bloom more aggressively than flowers found at sea level, in order to take advantage of the shortened growing season. rich-text, responsive-table
