The quick and convenient step by step guide to growing your Rue Seeds!
Rue is a hardy and drought tolerant herbaceous perennial, making it a great choice for irrigated gardens and xeriscapes in USDA Hardiness zones 4-8. Rue is a compact, shrub like herb that flowers in late spring through early fall.
We no longer carry seed for every plant we write about. What we can hand you is the way we grow the herbs we do sell: living soil, no synthetic fertiliser, no pesticide, and a soil test we publish. Build a regenerative herb garden the way we do →
How to Grow Rue Seeds
#1 | For an indoor head start, plant your rue seeds under light or in a sunny windowsill 4 weeks before the last spring frost. Direct sow or transplant the seedlings after any chance of frost has passed.
# 2 | Plant your seeds in well-draining soil. Rue does best with a pH of 6.5 to 8.5.
#3 | Scatter rue seeds on the soil's surface, and leave them uncovered; rue requires sunlight to germinate.
#4 | Keep soil evenly moist until germination which should occur in 7-15 days.
