Grow Ruta Rue From Seed
Ruta chalepensis is an interesting addition for gardeners looking beyond traditional culinary herbs. Its distinctive foliage and compact growth give it ornamental value while adding texture and variety to an herb garden.
Ruta has a long history of use in traditional herbal practices. However, historical or traditional use should not be interpreted as evidence that rue is safe or effective for treating medical conditions. Rue contains biologically active compounds and should be handled and used with appropriate care.
Ruta chalepensis is also known as an original natural source of the chemical compound chalepensin.
