  • Tundra plants are small (usually less than 12 inches tall) and low-growing due to lack of nutrients, because being close to the ground helps keep the plants from freezing, and because the roots cannot penetrate the permafrost.
  • Plants are dark in color---some are even red---this helps them absorb solar heat.
  • Some plants are covered with hair which helps keep them warm.
  • Some plants grow in clumps to protect one another from the wind and cold.
  • Some plants have dish-like flowers that follow the sun, focusing more solar heat on the center of the flower, helping the plant stay warm.
