It's a pollinator powerhouse, serving as a first-choice food source for the caterpillars of many species of swallowtail butterflies. And because the caterpillars love it, you'll frequently spot butterflies laying eggs on the plant. Cool blue foliage ensures long-lasting color and interest in the garden. Requires good drainage year-round, especially in the colder parts of its hardiness range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVital details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1.5'\/.3-.5m tall and wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efull sun (6+ hrs\/day)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: USDA zone 5-8 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-external-message\"\u003eFind your hardiness zone\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eattracts swallowtail butterflies and their larvae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotable features\u003c\/strong\u003e: foliage interest, compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot size\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/pages\/our-plant-sizes\" title=\"one quart\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-message\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eone quart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant name: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRuta graveolens \u003c\/em\u003e'Blue Mound'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"buttarflybushes.com","offers":[{"title":"One Quart","offer_id":39667029541040,"sku":"8823","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0235\/7061\/2270\/products\/ruta-graveolens-1-sq.jpg?v=1615482793","url":"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/products\/ruta-graveolens-blue-mound-rue","provider":"buttarflybushes.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
