Wild Rocket Arugula is the perfect way to spice up any dish! This nutritious Italian heirloom has a more pungent taste than regular arugula, and its leaves are deeply lobed. Wild Arugula does excellent in the heat and humidity, so it's perfect for adding some zip to your summer recipes. It is believed that arugula's detoxifying properties come from glucosinolates. These compounds are responsible for giving the leaves their pungent and slightly bitter flavor, which may be why it has been used in traditional medicine. 150mg ~ 500 seeds.Direct seed from early spring onward.

Arugula was slow growing, but once it started it really flourished! Flavor is amazing. Will buy again!
Hi Halie! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Wild Rocket Arugula Seeds. We're thrilled to hear that the arugula's delicious flavor made the slow start worthwhile. Just a tip: Arugula thrives in the cooler weather of spring and fall, which might help optimize its growth in your future plantings. We appreciate your support and can't wait to serve you again. Happy gardening!
My arugula seed production was zero. Immediate germination followed by 100% die-off. Was not a cold weather issue. No other seed germination issues in my garden. Very disappointed.
