If you want to know which plants grow best in your region, just look around. North American wildflowers, such as purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), are practically carefree from zones 3 to 9 because they've evolved in harmony with the environment and native pests. Look to smaller, local nurseries for plants native to your region.
