Habit: Rue should be planted in early spring, after the last frost in a sunny spot. The foliage attracts butterflies, pollinators, and beneficial parasitic wasps to the garden. It can tolerate poor soils, gravel, and drought conditions, making it a great candidate for xeriscaping. Giving Rue additional fertilizer generally delays blooms and is not necessary. WARNING! Exposure to Rue sap or herbal preparations of rue can cause photodermatitis when your skin becomes exposed to ultraviolet light. Photodermatitis will appear as burn-like blisters on the skin. Avoid placing it near walkways.
History & Use: Common rue, also known as herb-of-grace, is native to the Mediterranean and known for its drought tolerance, bluish leaves, and distinct smell. It is used as an ornamental plant, and historically as an ‘emmenagogue’ and antispasmodic, cited by Pliny the Elder to induce menstruation and relieve stomach pains. Only consume in small amounts. Do not consume if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
