Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rue safe to touch?
Use caution! The sap of the Rue plant can cause skin irritation or 'phototoxicity' (blistering when skin is exposed to sunlight). It is best to wear gloves when pruning.
Does it have a strong scent?
Yes, Rue has a very distinct, bitter, and heavy aroma. Many gardeners plant it specifically to deter unwanted cats or pests from the garden.
Can I use it in cooking?
While used in some traditional recipes (like Italian Grappa or Ethiopian coffee), it should be used in very tiny amounts. Large quantities can be toxic.

Drought-proof and Hardy

I planted this in the hottest, driest corner of my yard and it's flourishing. The yellow flowers are a lovely contrast against the blue leaves.

Beautiful Blue Foliage

The color of this plant is incredible—it looks almost silver-blue in the sun. Just be careful with the sap; I learned the hard way to wear gloves when trimming!
