Ruta graveolens, commonly known as Rue or Herb of Grace, is a striking evergreen herb valued for its historical medicinal uses and ornamental appeal. Traditionally used to repel pests and treat minor ailments, this hardy perennial is a favorite in herb gardens. Its aromatic, blue-green, fern-like foliage and clusters of small, yellow flowers add unique charm to any landscape. This live Rue plant is perfect for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant herb with both practical and aesthetic benefits.
Care Instructions:
-
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-9, suitable for a wide range of climates, including cold winters.
-
Light Requirements: Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade; full sun promotes vibrant foliage and flowering.
-
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5-7.5). Tolerates poor, rocky soils.
-
Watering Needs: Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Highly drought-tolerant once established; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
-
Planting Tips: Plant in a garden bed or container with excellent drainage, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Handle with gloves, as sap may cause skin irritation. Prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth.
