Peganum harmala is a small erect shrub up to 0.5 metres in height, native to south Europe, north Africa and subtropical Asia. Family Zygophyllaceae.
Seeds are used as a dye and as a spice in Turkey. The smoke from the seeds is a traditional intoxicant and sexual stimulant in central Asia.
Care and cultivation Seed should be sown in a light airy mix in full sun. A good medium we have found is river sand equally mixed with perlite (put some normal potting mix in the bottom of the pot to stop the sand washing out). As long as they are in a hot position they can be kept moist, damping off can occur easily in cold, dark and moist positions. Seeds can also be sown directly in the garden to avoid any transplant shock.
A plant native to arid regions, Syrian Rue likes well drained poor soil in full sun.
~100 seeds per packet.
May be subject to statutory control as a weed in some parts of Australia, please check your local/state laws before sowing.
