Description
Rue (RUTA GRAVEOLENS) 🌿
Rue is a hardy, aromatic herb known for its distinctive blue-green foliage and small clusters of bright yellow flowers. Traditionally grown in herb and cottage gardens, this tough, drought-tolerant plant is well suited to sunny positions and well-drained soil.
This evergreen perennial forms a neat, shrubby plant and is valued for both its ornamental appearance and its strong herbal fragrance. It thrives in dry conditions once established and requires very little maintenance, making it a good choice for waterwise and Mediterranean-style gardens.
Rue (RUTA GRAVEOLENS) also attracts beneficial insects to the garden and can be used as part of a mixed herb or pollinator-friendly planting. Its unique foliage colour provides attractive contrast when planted alongside other herbs and flowering plants.
