Rue 'Ruda' is a hardy, old-world herb that earns its place with distinctive blue-green foliage and strong scent. It thrives in hot, dry, well-drained spots where fussier plants give up, bringing a fine, lacy texture to herb beds, rock gardens, and borders. Many families value its traditional uses, while others simply enjoy its ornamental presence and the way it discourages some pests. Plant it where children and pets will not nibble, and let it soak up the sun. 

We are glad to talk you through care, companion planting ideas, and how to weave this heritage plant into your landscape.
