Description
Ruta graveolens
Hardy perennial herb with a loaded past, dainty leaves, and a mesmerizing scent.
Rue has a fascinating history loaded with lore, and it’s gorgeous in the garden. Used to ward off evil spirits, avert the evil eye, and more! It grows 2-3’ tall and wide, with woody stems that can be cut back for a bushier shape, or allowed to grow wild & rangy. Unique, olive-green, spoon-shaped leaves are quite attractive, and small yellow flowers attract bees & hoverflies. Strong, herbal-floral scent!
Seeds grown by Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho.

Directions: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting. Prune annually to keep it looking lovely.
