Ruta Graveolens / Rue / Herb-Of-Grace 芸香

Ruta graveolens, commonly known as rue or herb-of-grace, is an aromatic evergreen subshrub native to the Mediterranean region and the Balkan Peninsula. Highly valued for its striking, lace-like bluish-green foliage, it grows 2 to 3 feet tall and produces clusters of small, four-to-five-petaled yellow flowers in the summer.

Light: Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade (though it may produce fewer flowers).

Soil: Prefers dry, airy, rocky, or sandy soil. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. It adapts well to various pH levels.

Water: Water sparingly. Once established, it survives extended dry spells. Overwatering is its greatest threat.
