Common rue (Ruta graveolens) organic

The rue needs light to germinate, so the seeds should not be covered with soil. In pre-culture in a seed bag at 20 ° C, the seed germinates within 1-3 weeks. The seedlings should be transplanted to small pots and be planted outdoors after the last freezing at a planting distance of about 30-40cm. Ruta graveolens grows well in a sunny spot with nutrient-rich, permeable and not too moist soil.
The common rue reseeds itself after a flowering period and can spread very erratically under good growth conditions. When pruning or removing the plant always wear gloves and protect your skin - in combination with sunlight, the common rue can cause severe skin irritation and dermatitis.
