Description
Diplotaxis tenuifolia
Also called Wild Rocket, Roquette, and Wild Arugula.
This fiery, low-growing Sylvetta cultivar brings its A-game with delicious spicy leaves that perform well in both cold and heat, cranking out pungent leaves long after its cultivated Arugula counterparts have bolted. Finely-serrated leaves are a favorite of chefs for their beauty and pizzazz on the plate. Slower-growing than arugula, but produces over a much longer season. Extremely cold-hardy and also quite tolerant of summer heatwaves.
