Herb of Grace with Fragrant Foliage

Rue (Ruta graveolens), also known as Herb of Grace, is a small shrubby perennial that grows 2 to 3 feet high with delicate blue-green foliage and small, bright yellow flowers. It is in the citrus family (Rutaceae) and is native to the Balkans and southeastern Europe, where it is used as a bitter flavoring in traditional cuisines of the eastern Mediterranean.

Rue’s shrubby nature and charming foliage and flowers make it an excellent low-growing hedge, border, or container plant. The yellow flowers that bloom in June and July attract butterflies, while the highly fragrant leaves give off a strong aroma when crushed and can also repel insects. Planted in the garden, Rue is an effective insect-repelling companion. It is the national herb of Lithuania, and in southeastern Europe, it developed a reputation as a magical protective herb and was often planted in doorways to ward off evil spirits.

Cultural & Culinary Significance

Rue has a long history in southeastern Europe, where it is used as a bitter flavoring in traditional cuisines of the eastern Mediterranean. It is also the national herb of Lithuania.

In southeastern Europe, Rue developed a reputation as a magical protective herb and was often planted in doorways to ward off evil spirits. Its highly fragrant foliage also makes it a useful companion plant, as the strong aroma released when the leaves are crushed can repel insects.
