Wild Rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) packs a sharper, nuttier bite than common arugula and returns as a short‑lived perennial in many climates. Slender leaves keep their flavor in summer heat better than regular roquette. Rich in glucosinolates and vitamin K, it’s a true salad wake‑up and a pizza finisher. Sow in cool weather for quickest growth, cut often, and let a few plants flower—bees love the yellow blooms, and self‑sown volunteers will follow. If you like arugula with extra backbone, this is your green.

How to Grow

Direct seed from early spring onward. Arugula prefers the cool weather of spring & fall. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 40-70 degrees. Transplants can be set out 3-4 weeks before last average frost. Arugula needs consistent moisture to produce tender leaves. Successive plantings every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply until weather becomes to hot. Arugula can be planted again in late summer for a fall harvest. Flowers are edible.
