Description

Wild rocket is an interesting flavor addition to many dishes. Serrated, deeply bent, very aromatic leaves with a slightly nutty flavor. It is hardy and withstands heat well. It is little known that the plant is edible at all, because growing wild it is considered a typical weed, sprouting on walls and in paving joints. The leaves can be picked continuously and are versatile.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

Germination after 10-14 days at 15-18°C. Cover seeds only lightly. Can also be sown in broad clumps. For continuous harvesting, preferably cut off at the base so that new leaves sprout. To prevent the leaves from acquiring a bitter taste, the flowers should be removed in good time. Can be sown in the greenhouse all year round.
