My Rue is still going great, still putting on leaves. It is a favorite of the Giant Swallowtail and BST use it also. I switch any small cats that I find on it over to using parsley since I have plenty of it.
I hope to have more rue this year, I gathered seed and sowed some in the same flower bed as the mother plant. I have bought some in the past and can't seem to keep but one or two alive. Parsley grows so much I have to cut it back as I gather the eggs and cats. My parsley also made it fine throught the winter months.
