Rue 'Jackman's Blue'

Price: €6.95

A bushy evergreen shrub with scented blue-grey frilly leaves. It has been used medicinally for centuries, but all parts are poisonous in anything more than tiny quantities. Often used in gardens to repel insects and cats, it grows best in full sun and well drained soil, so perfect for the herb or mediterranean garden. It is deer resistant. Small greenish-yellow flowers appear above the foliage in late summer. Maximum height and spread 2-3ft. 2L container.
