Ruta graveolens
Rue, Herb of Grace
(Ruta graveolens)

Rue has been grown in gardens since ancient times. It's a slightly toxic herb that was once used as an insect repellant. The lacy, blue-green foliage and greenish-yellow flowers make it a terrific companion plant for almost anything. It can even be pruned for a formal look. 

Ruta graveolens is a food source for the black swallowtail butterfly larvae. Wear gloves when handling rue since it can cause rashes. Hardy in zones 5-10.
