Garden Rue (Ruta graveolens) starter plant Butterfly host plant

Garden Rue Ruta graveolens is a perennial herb. I raise it because both giants and black swallowtail butterflies will use this as a host plant.

These are up and growing for the 2022 season. We keep our plants outside to coincide with the natural season here in Michigan. They are one year old plants that are ready to be planted. They can easily survive any remaining cold weather this spring.

All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4″x4 1/2″ May be planted in the pot or removed .
