These plants adapt to the climate by growing short so they do not blow away. Also, they can grow in the frozen soil, and only grow during the short summer period. Plus, they can get lots of sunlight because there are no trees. tundra means treeless plain. The soil holds lots of water because the snow melts on it. Since there are no trees all the flowers get lots of sunlight.The warmish summer period is warm enough all around to support the plants, and the cold winter winds instantly kill the majority of the plants. some plants can survive year-round.
