Ruta graveolens


A powerful herb to many cultures and religions, Rue (also known as ruda and ruta) is used as a culinary, medicinal and spiritual herb. A beautiful ornamental herb, Rue is also a natural insect and pest repellent and makes a beautiful hedge for keeping critters out of your garden.

 Rue is so popular that we have been growing it by the acre, and offering it in bulk with a 5lb. minimum per order. We hand-grow our plants and do not use any toxic chemicals so that we can offer our customers the highest quality, all natural herbs, that will seem as fresh as the day we cut it for you.



This is cut the day it is ordered and shipped immediately - only available May through December.  We have plenty for the NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATIONS.

Rue, known as the 'Herb of Grace", is a native of the Mediterranean region. It is a wonderful ornamental plant for herb gardening.  This herb plant has a nice mounding habit and small, pungent evergreen leaves. Tiny yellow flowers grow above the attractive foliage. Rue will work nicely in an herb garden as well as a rock garden. During the Middle Ages, Europeans believed in the magical powers of this medicinal herb and it was often placed in doorways to keep evil spirits away.
