Having worked growing native plants for restoration efforts, I can say that this is 100% true. Our focus was on getting plants that will survive without any extra help after being put in the ground, so no fertilizer and limited water. A scraggly leaved plant with good roots would make it where something with lots of soft new growth would get eaten.

Well, that's exactly what evolution optimizes for - the good enoughest of all good enough solutions.
