Scottish plants are diverse and adapted to the unique climate of Scotland. The country features a mix of native species, including heather, which thrives in the moorlands, and various types of ferns found in its forests. The rugged landscapes support a range of flora, from coastal plants like sea thrift to alpine species in the highlands. In addition to native plants, Scotland is home to several important agricultural crops, such as barley and potatoes. The varied ecosystems, including wetlands and woodlands, provide habitats for many species, contributing to the rich biodiversity of the region.
