Rue

For optimal results, start by sowing Rue seeds 1/4 to 3/8 inches deep in cells or flats approximately 7 weeks before the last frost. Keep the soil moist and warm, ideally within the range of 60-70°F. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them to larger cells. Grow Rue indoors until they reach several inches in height, and then transplant them outdoors. Space seedlings 12" apart in the North and 24" apart in the South, with rows set 18" apart.

To directly sow them outdoors, wait until all threat of frost is past, and directly sow 6-12 seeds per foot, 1/4 to 3/8" deep. Space rows 18" apart. Thin to 12-24" apart once they've reached 3" tall.
