Features
A low maintenance selection and a great choice for beginner gardeners, ‘Kitty Scat’ is a small evergreen bush with aromatic, blue-green foliage (that borders on being “stinky”) with cup-shaped, yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. Sometimes Rue plants are placed among other bushes such as roses or raspberry brambles or compost piles to keep away insects and small animals, but even the deer turn their noses up at this herb. This easy to grow plant doesn’t mind poor soil, so don’t overdo it with compost or fertilizer. Is a host to Giant Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillars.
Uses
A natural feline repellent. Small amounts may be used to give a unusual musky flavor to cream cheese, egg and fish dishes. Wash fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly before eating.
