It is an ornamental, shrubby herb with a strong, aromatic, bitter or acrid scent. Rue has tough, woody branches and small, smooth, bluish-green leaves. This is one of the oldest medicinal plants. The sunny, early summer flowers give way to green fruits which resemble tiny immature oranges. Rue is said to calm the nerves. Known to be toxic please use with caution.
Aroma: Sharply herbaceous, distinctly fruity orange-like scent, with a characteristic odd bitter acrid back note.
