Wild Rocket - Arugula Seeds - Organic
HEIRLOOM, ORGANIC.
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.GROWING TIPS

Arugula was slow growing, but once it started it really flourished! Flavor is amazing. Will buy again!

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.
