Description

Rocket, also known as arugula, is a fast-growing leafy green with a bold, peppery flavour that adds a zesty kick to salads, sandwiches, and pestos. Popular in Mediterranean cuisine, it’s loved for its tender, deeply lobed leaves and rapid growth.

Ideal for cool-season planting, rocket thrives in well-drained soil and can be harvested in just a few weeks. Regular picking encourages fresh new growth, making it a great choice for cut-and-come-again harvesting.

Maturity: 21–40 days
Growing conditions: Full sun to part shade, well-drained soil
Harvest tips: Harvest young leaves for a milder flavour or mature leaves for a spicier bite

Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and calcium, rocket is as nutritious as it is delicious.
