Arugula (Rocket) – Eruca sativa


Fast-growing cool-season green with deeply lobed, dark green leaves and a bold, peppery bite that hints at wasabi or horseradish. Baby leaves are ready in as little as 35 days; full-size in 45–50 days.

 

Growing tips  

 

  • Loves rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture—water thoroughly after sowing or transplanting and keep soil evenly moist (morning watering is best).  
  • Thrives in garden beds, raised beds, containers, or even a sunny windowsill pot (needs at least 6–8 inches of soil depth). 
  • Cool-weather crop; grows best in spring and fall. Hot summer weather makes it bolt and turn bitter.

 

Harvest
Cut leaves 2 inches above the soil for repeated regrowth (cut-and-come-again style). For a continuous supply, sow every 2–3 weeks. Let some plants flower and set seed in late summer for self-sowing or seed saving.

 

Versatile in the kitchen: use raw in salads and sandwiches, wilt into pasta, top pizzas, or blend into pesto. Young leaves are mild; older ones pack more punch.


Sold as individual plants in a 4-pack container.
