About this seed
Wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a perennial salad green grown for its fresh leaves, which have a bold, peppery flavour. Because it is perennial, one sowing keeps giving leaves rather than finishing after a single cut. The packet holds 100 seeds.
Also known as: Perennial wall-rocket.
One sowing, a long harvest
Pick a few leaves from each plant as you need them, and it keeps producing fresh, peppery growth, so a single sowing can keep supplying a kitchen for more than one season.
Growing it
- Choose a sunny spot.
- Water regularly so the leaves stay tender.
- Harvest leaves continuously through the season.
