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 sow from early spring through fall. Wild rocket prefers the cool weather of spring and fall, though it is more heat tolerant than common arugula. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 40–70°F. Transplants may be set out 3–4 weeks before your average last frost date. Keep plants evenly watered for the most tender leaves. Make successive sowings every 2–3 weeks for a steady harvest, and sow again in late summer for fall harvest. Flowers are edible, and regular cutting encourages fresh regrowth.
