"Native" can be defined many ways. We define native plants as those that grew naturally
in our state prior to the settlement by European immigrants. The plants introduced
by immigrants are "exotics" -
You need to consider soil, available moisture, topography, sun exposure, wind, temperature, snow cover, and elevation. To be successful with native plants, you need to duplicate their natural habitat as closely as possible.
