Rue Seeds
An ancient herb, Rue (Ruta graveolens) boasts feathery green-blue leaves and yellow flowers, blooming in late spring. In medieval times, it was known as the herb-of-grace and was believed to protect against witches and the plague. It held a significant symbolic meaning of sorrow and repentance.
Rue (Ruta Graveolens) - This perennial garden herb, also known as "Herb of Grace", is versatile and evergreen, making it a great addition to the herb garden. It can also be used for creating hedges and in knot gardens. The plant's base turns woody over time, but the tips remain herbaceous and produce yellow flowers by mid-summer.
As a medicinal herb, Garden Rue herb has been used to rid the body of worms. It is antispasmodic and used to treat intestinal cramps. As a culinary herb, fresh leaves are used to flavor meats, cheese, and eggs. It has a rather bitter taste that goes well with acidic flavors and is used in pickling.
How To Grow Rue From Herb Seeds: Sow Rue seeds directly outdoors when the soil temperature is at least 65 degrees. The herb seeds can have an erratic germination, so be patient and keep the seeds moist. Rue needs a location in full sun, and it thrives in poor sandy soils. Water the Common Rue plant regularly until it is well-established and during prolonged drought conditions. Under normal conditions, Herb Of Grace plants do not need to be watered. Mulch the base of the plant to protect it from frost damage in winter. Garden Rue herb plants do nicely in containers. It readily self-seeds, so deadhead the spent flowers if this is not desired. Wear gloves when pruning as the plant oil can irritate sensitive skins.
