Wild Arugula (Wild Rocket) Herb Seeds, 850 Seeds

Wild arugula seeds (Diplotaxis tenuifolia). High Germination. Open-pollinated. Vegetable. Non-GMO Wild arugula seeds are ideal for gardens prone to overly warm summers yet would still like to try their hand and arugula gardening. Known throughout the world by any number of names including "rocket" and "roquette", garden arugula seeds quickly mature into a tender annual most commonly found in mixed greens and Mesclun mixes featuring mizuna, baby spinach radicchio, and dandelion. Growing Wild arugula seeds helps to maintain the best possible flavor while in the garden, keeping the plant from bolting to seed which immediately spoils flavor, color, and tenderness.

Closely related to the weedy and tenacious dandelion green, arugula boasts the same weed-like vigor in the garden. Arugula greens are best when harvested at about 2-3" long, often grown as "baby arugula" able to be kept as a "cut and come again" crop, but naturally will want to branch out and bolt to seed as if it were an invasive crop. Whether sowing Wild arugula seeds or a wild arugula variety, they are popularly sown about every 2 weeks in the summer for a successive and season-long arugula crop. Although a slow bolting seed, arugula will still require some partial shade in the summer heat to be able to produce up until the frost. Non-GMO Wild arugula seeds are a choice microgreens crop, able to be sown and harvested indoors year-round, a clever and delicious way to use those extra arugula seeds in the middle of winter.
