Rue officinale (Ruta graveolens)
How do I sow rue officinale outdoors?
To successfully sow rue officinale outdoors, it is important to choose a sunny, well-drained location. It is recommended to sow in spring, after the last frosts. Before sowing, it is best to prepare the soil by weeding and loosening it with a fork to allow better germination of the seeds.
It is advisable to sow rue officinale seeds 1 to 2 centimetres deep and about 20 to 30 centimetres apart. It is important not to bury the seeds too deeply, as this could prevent germination.
It is recommended to water well after sowing and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Once the seedlings are well established, it is important not to overwater to avoid fungal diseases.
It is also advisable to keep an eye out for pests and regularly remove weeds around the seedlings to encourage their growth. By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy beautiful, aromatic rue officinale leaves in your garden.
