Eruca sativa (Salad Rocket)
Eruca sativa (Salad Rocket)
20 (50)cm, Arrugula or formerly commonly called Salad Roquette is a fast growing annual from Eurasia, where it has been cultivated for centuries for its deliciously spicy, deeply cut leaves, which are used raw in salads or cooked and baked (e.g. on Pizza in Italy). Young tender leaves may be harvested several times from the same plant if only few leaves are cut a single time. It is easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Under suitable conditions it will self-sow. VI-VIII.More Details »
