To choose the best native plants for your landscape, first, evaluate the conditions of your garden\u2019s area. Such criteria will dictate what species will thrive in your yard:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Soil condition:<\/strong> Is your soil clay, sandy, or loamy? Is the pH acidic or alkaline? These are determinants when choosing the best options for your garden.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Sun exposure: <\/strong>Is your yard exposed to full sun, or does it have shaded areas?<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Take a hint from nature:<\/strong> What species naturally grow in your area? Do the wildflowers grow together with shrubs or trees? This native composition can help you choose the species that would make an aesthetically pleasing and resistant landscape.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Consider your city:<\/strong> A plant that works for one part of Oklahoma might not work for another.
