Thanks, Neil!
agree Charles Davis : In practice I think this is what it means, though in principle thriving and reproducing are not strictly synonymous. More literally I suppose it might be "that propagate well", but since it goes on to speak of "reproduction" yours is more suitable.

Thanks, Charles. I followed the same line of reasoning. This term is used so often in referring to plant choices that 'reproduction' is sort of a non-issue.
agree Wendy Streitparth : Refreshing to hear something so natural!

plants which are easily grown/cultivated in the area/zone

Even though in a sense literally it speaks of them reproducing, I think it's more referring to plants which grow well and are easily cultivated in the area, and are not so much referring to whether or not the plant is "fit" in the ecosystems sense of being able to occupy some place in certain environments/conditions within which it is able to hold its own and/or spread given whatever it already growing there.

So I suggest simply "plants which are easily grown/cultivated in the area/zone" where I would be pretty indifferent about grown vs. cultivated, but perhaps depending on how these areas/zones are defined, you might strictly prefer one or the other.
