Title: Locating ruda plants in Florida
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:
Where I can find or who sells Ruda plants? in the Miami, Florida area ?ANSWER:
At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, we are focused on the use, care and preservation of plants native to North America. Ruda is a native of southern Europe and northern Africa; therefore out of our expertise. However, a similar question, this time for Alabama, has recently been answered by Mr. Smarty Plants. See this previous answer for further information.
