Name: Rue 

Scientific Name: Ruta graveolens 

Family: Rutaceae 

 

Product Description     

Ruta graveolens, commonly known as rue, common rue, or herb-of-grace, is a species of the genus Ruta that is grown as an ornamental plant and herb. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is cultivated worldwide for its bluish leaves and tolerance of hot and dry soil conditions. Rue is a woody, perennial shrub with oblong, blue-green leaves arranged bipinnately with rounded leaflets. The leaves release a strong aroma when bruised. The flowers are small, with 4 to 5 dull yellow petals in cymes. Rue is also grown as an ornamental plant, both as a low hedge and for use in nosegays. Its strong smell can deter cats, making it useful as a deterrent to them. 

 
Origination: Mediterranean Region 
Historic Uses: Culinary, Ornamental, Ethnobotanical 
Height: 2-3 Ft 
Hardiness: USDA 4-9 
Flower Color: Yellow 
Other Names: Herb of Grace 

 

Growing Instructions:  

Rue thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Choose a well-drained area, as rue prefers dry to medium soil and doesn't like overly damp conditions. It grows best in poor to moderately fertile soil with good drainage. Sandy or rocky soil works well but avoid heavy clay. If starting indoors, plant young seedlings in the garden once the weather warms up. Space them about 18–24 inches apart. Rue is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering once established. Water sparingly, letting the soil dry out between waterings.
