It is a glabrous, glaucous, woody-based, shrubby perennial with aromatic, fern-like, compound leaves. It typically grows in a mound to 2-3’ tall. In some parts of the U.S. (particularly the northeast), it has escaped gardens and naturalized along roads, fields and disturbed areas. Notwithstanding its many historical uses, it is primarily grown today for ornamental purposes. Pinnately divided, blue green leaves (to 3-5” long) have oblong\/spatulate segments. Foliage has a pungent aroma when bruised and leaves have a bitter taste. Small, 4- to 5-petaled, dull yellow flowers in clusters (flattened corymbs) bloom above the foliage in early summer. Fruit is a brown seed capsule. Ornamental value lies in the delicate blue green foliage. Rue was historically used for a large number of medicinal purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"O'Neill Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50518416261370,"sku":"RUE","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/0038\/5981\/files\/il_fullxfull.1574951974_ghla.jpg?v=1790090657","url":"https:\/\/www.theamericangringo.com\/de\/products\/200-ruta-graveolens-seeds-rue-seeds","provider":"The American Gringo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
