Key Features

Wild Rocket Rukola (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a flavour-packed leafy green with slender, deeply divided leaves and a distinctive peppery, slightly nutty taste. Also widely known as wild arugula, it is an excellent choice for anyone who loves fresh, punchy salad leaves straight from the garden.
Unlike ordinary salad rocket, Wild Rocket is a perennial type that can produce repeated harvests when regularly cut. The young leaves are delicious added to salads, sandwiches, wraps and pizzas, or used as a fresh garnish for pasta and Mediterranean-style dishes.
Easy to grow in garden beds, raised beds and containers, these arugula seeds are ideal for creating a productive kitchen garden even where space is limited. Pick the leaves young for a milder flavour or allow them to mature for a stronger, more peppery taste.
For a continuous supply of fresh leaves, make small successive sowings every few weeks throughout the growing season.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing Wild Rocket Seeds.
Sow from spring through late summer, either directly outdoors or in containers. Sow seeds thinly around 0.5–1 cm deep in moist, well-drained soil.
Keep the soil evenly moist while the seeds germinate and during dry periods. Thin seedlings if necessary to give plants room to develop.

Growing Conditions and Care

Wild Rocket grows well in full sun or partial shade. During warm weather, partial shade and regular watering can help keep the leaves tender and slow premature flowering.

Harvesting and Use

Harvest young leaves as soon as they reach a useful size, taking a few leaves from each plant or cutting above the growing point to encourage fresh growth. Regular harvesting helps maintain a steady supply of tender leaves.
