    (DWARF MEADOW RUE) This little Rue forms a 4-6” tall mat of foliage that spreads by rhizomes 12-18” or more, leaves often with a bronzy hue; fluffy lavender flowers float over the foliage June August. Takes sun with constant moisture; growth is less vigorous in full shade, best in organic soils with moderate moisture, needs well drained soils in shade. May self seed. Deer and rabbit resistant.

    Low-growing to about 8 inches with small and handsome toothed leaves, and light, lavender-pink flower spritzes; this species makes a sweet ground cover. Minimum temperature: -10 °F
