Rue Plants for Sale at The Growers Exchange

Rue is a short-lived perennial herb with aromatic and medicinal properties. It is a fascinating and versatile plant cherished for centuries for its unique characteristics and uses. 

The Growers Exchange offers sustainably grown rue plants ready for transplanting in your garden. We also take pride in helping fellow gardeners by providing free information on planting and caring for herbs. Read on to learn about rue, including its characteristics, uses, and plant care needs. 

What Is Rue?

Rue, scientifically known as Ruta graveolens, is a hardy perennial herb from the Rutaceae family. Known for its strong aroma and distinctive appearance, rue has been used historically for medicinal purposes, culinary applications, and as a decorative plant in gardens. It also has a long-standing reputation in folklore and traditional medicine.

Rue is also sometimes called the ruda plant, but it is more frequently referred to by the more common name rue. 

Rue’s Appearance and Characteristics

Rue is a compact herb that grows between 2 and 3 feet tall. Its blue-green, feathery leaves are divided into small, rounded segments, giving the plant a delicate and attractive appearance. 

In the summer, rue produces small, yellow flowers forming clusters at the stems' tips. Small, round seed capsules follow the flowers. 

Rue Origins and History

Rue is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It was highly valued in ancient Greece and Rome for its medicinal properties and was often used in religious and ceremonial contexts. 

Also known as the "herb of grace,"  rue was believed to ward off witches and protect against the plague in the Middle Ages. Today, rue is grown in gardens worldwide and appreciated for its historical significance, ornamental value, and diverse uses.

Rue Plant Care: Growing Tips

Rue is relatively easy to grow and maintain, making it a suitable choice for gardeners of all levels. Here are some essential tips for cultivating healthy rue plants.

  • Sun: The rue plant thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

  • Soil: Rue prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Plant rue in a location with good air circulation to help prevent fungal diseases.

  • Planting: Space the plants about 18 inches apart for proper growth. Keep in mind that rue does not grow well indoors.

  • Watering: Water when dry to the touch, but be careful not to overwater. Rue can withstand minor drought.

  • Fertilizing: Rue does not require heavy feeding. A light application of compost or a balanced fertilizer in the spring should promote healthy growth.

  • Pruning: Prune rue regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches to improve air circulation and reduce disease risk. After flowering, trim back the stems to encourage new growth.

  • Pest and Disease Management: Rue is generally resistant to pests due to its strong aroma, which deters many insects. However, it can develop fungal diseases in humid conditions. To minimize disease risk, ensure proper spacing and air circulation and avoid overhead watering.

  • Special Considerations: Take care when handling rue—its oils are phototoxic! Avoid cutting or working with it in the sun, as the combination of essential oils and UV rays can cause photodermatitis.

Uses and Benefits of Rue

Rue is a versatile herb with various applications in the garden, kitchen, and beyond.

Medicinal Uses: Rue has historically been used for its medicinal properties, such as relieving digestive issues, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain. It has also been included in traditional remedies for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using rue medicinally, as it can be toxic in large amounts.

Culinary Uses: Rue's bitter leaves can be used sparingly as a seasoning in various dishes, particularly in Mediterranean cuisine. It is often added to salads, meats, and eggs to impart a unique flavor. Due to its strong taste, rue should be used in moderation.

In the Garden: Rue is an excellent companion plant, as its strong scent deters many garden pests, such as aphids, flea beetles, and cabbage moths. Planting rue near susceptible crops can help protect them from insect damage. Additionally, its yellow flowers attract pollinators and beneficial insects, and it's a host plant for swallowtail butterflies. 

Ornamental Value: Rue's attractive foliage and bright yellow flowers make it a valuable addition to ornamental gardens. It can be used as a border plant, in herb gardens, or in rock gardens. Its blue-green leaves provide a striking contrast to other plants, adding visual interest to garden beds. Rue is also great for making wreaths. 

Folklore: In folklore, rue is associated with protection and purification. It is often used in rituals and ceremonies to ward off negative energy.

Good-ish
Format: Kindle
🌶️ 0/5 ⭐️ 3/5 I will preface this by saying I am not a huge RH fan. However it didn’t feel like a RH quite yet. The relationships and plot are all building in this book. At first I was thinking things were happening stupid fast since she’s had zero interaction with another being and has been tortured her whole life, and I believe they were for one side of the relationship, but by 50% things moved too slow lol. Idk I think the main 1-3 guys I’m actually interested in more than the others didn’t get enough air time so I hope the next book things start moving with them since it ended the way it did.

Can I have Term 2 now?
Format: Kindle
This is by far my favorite book of Lyra's to date. I gobbled this book up so fast, I was so upset I finished it. I know this is going to be a book I reread, just like Fate Hollow Academy. I loved Fate Hollow Academy, so I was excited when Lyra announced she was taking us readers back to Kalista. Although the characters from Fate Hollow are mentioned several times throughout the book, this book is about Pandora and her love interests in the Demon Realm. Before you deep dive into this book, definitely look at the trigger warnings before you start. When Lyra says there's dark themes in this book, she meant it. Also, just know this book does end on a cliffhanger and will probably leave you with as many questions as it did me. Below may contain some minor spoilers, so keep that in mind if you want to keep reading my review. Pandora's first 2 decades of her life are full of torture, hatred, and confinement in a cellar. That is until her father finds her and brings her into the world she was supposed to live in. Because of her upbringing she wasn't acclimated to the Demon world and the way their society works so when she is offered the chance to go to a Demon Reform Accademy, she accepts it to learn the ways of society and how she is supposed to feed. Pandora isn't like the other common demons in this world, no. She, like her father Death, are soul-eaters. Pandora is too scared to release her powers because she doesn't want to kill anyone, so she needs to learn how to feed off of a piece of soul instead of taking the whole thing. Because of who her father is, she's classed as a Noble, and while she doesn't agree with her fellow Noble students, who look down on the "lower" class, she also is faced with 3 Demons who hate her for being a Noble. Theses a lot of back and forth tension which these 3 demons who have issues of their own. One is obsessed with her, and wants to know all of her secrets. One leaks fear all over the place, but also is scared of the "princess" -wink- -wink-. One is a complete drunk who doesn't like her just because he's got family Noble problems. Don't worry, there are 2 other demons who are just the sweetest towards her. One who will get vengeance for anything done to her, he's got Golden Retriever energy around her and touch her and die energy for anyone around her. Finally, there is one who is friends with her even when the whole school is scared of her, who brings her into his dreams and will create nightmares for those who bother her.

This was more than I expected...
Format: Kindle
So...I finished this book at nearly 2am! It was just that hard to put down. I loved that it's set in the same world as Fates Hollow but in the future. Poor Pandora has been through so much but there's light at the end of the tunnel for her. She finally meets her dad and it turns out he's amazing. In order to help her learn about demon society and how to control her magic he sends her to the Demon Reform Academy. There she meets 2 awesome demons who help her and care for her. She also sadly meets her 3 tormentors. I will say though that while they do bully Pandora they also rescue her several times and defend her. They too have traumatizing pasts and can't see the good that is in front of them. Of course demon society needs to be shaken up too since that's part of the problem. I really enjoyed this read. I teared up a few times throughout the book but I liked the characters and that ending...well it looks like 3 in denial are going to need to grovel hard.

MUST READ BOOK!!
Format: Kindle
I was in a huge reading slump, when one of my favorite authors recommended this book in her readers group (The amazing Marie Mistry 🫶) and I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Now I’m in the club crying about having to wait until December for Term 2! This book is about a girl named Pandora who has suffered a life that nobody would ever wish to have. This book is about Pandora learning how to live, learning about herself and what she really wants. She has a long journey to find out all of these things, but she took the first steps in this book and it was beautiful to read. Some of the men in this book are our dream men, Hunter and Reed 😍 and then we have the men who need some work and who we all really just want to beat up until they admit what they really feel, Skel, Bram and Dexter. But that cliffy was a killer and I absolutely cannot wait until the next book!! You have written an absolute dream of a book Lyra and I eagerly await the next installment in this series!!!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
