Ruta graveolens
This plant is an herb. It is especially loved by certain butterflies; they lay their eggs on the plant and it is the first food for certain types of caterpillars like Swallow tails. The plant can get pretty large depending on care and is an ideal plant of you want a Butterfly garden. This was taken in our flowerbed at home. this one stands almost a full leg length.
Real good in the zone 7 areas and other classified areas. Plant likes full sun so if you get a few or a whole bunch plant in the sun.
