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.

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other. This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out. It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough. It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.
