Hello nellylela. Welcome. I am no expert on natives either and am at the opposite end of the country, but I do know there are some natives that you can't go wrong with anywhere.
Ask your garden centre or check your library or internet for your area for starters .
There are Callistemons (bottlebrush) that will grow practically anywhere from very dry to swamp. . I have great success with Grevilleas and Correas in my heavy clay soil. You will find some that will like your warmer climate.
We are lucky that our natives are so very hardy . There are lots of lesser known ones that you may be able to get if you look around.
Try eBay, as there are sellers of native plants and seeds on there.
This is one of the Alogynes (native hibiscus)
Good luck. Come and chat with us in the Tea Room. Jean.
