Arruda Rue

Commonly known as Rue, ‘herb-of-grace’, or the ‘queen of herbs’, grown as a strongly scented, ever green shrub in an herb garden or as an ornamental plant native to the Balkan Peninsula.

It has been used in magic rituals and has been known for centuries to bring about good luck and prosperity.

The herb's strong aromatic qualities make a great deterrent to most garden pests including rabbits, slugs and is also disliked by cats so it acts as an Insect Repellent, so it makes a great garden companion.

Arruda Rue has a sharply herbaceous, distinctly fruity orange-like scent, with a characteristic bitter acrid back note that is strongly aromatic.
