Although the desert generally has the reputation for being dry and hostile towards any form of life, you’ll find a variety of well-adapted plants across the biome and within Coronado National Memorial. The park is home to a beautiful array of wildflowers within park boundaries. In the spring and summer months you can find blooming morning glories, tansyasters, Mexican vervain, claret cup cactus, and more across our nearly 5,000 acres.
