Rue (Ruta graveolens) is an evergreen shrub with strongly aromatic, bitter blue-green leaves. Its edibility rating is low and all parts are toxic in large quantities, so the leaves are used only sparingly as a seasoning or tea. In the garden it is valued mainly for repelling pests and attracting pollinators.
