Valued for its excellent nut-mustard taste and aromaticity. Juicy leaves are an integral part of various salads from vegetables, fruits, cheese, meat, fish and seafood, and an indispensable spicy side dish for meat and fish dishes. The presence of a peculiar combination of essential oils, vitamin C, PP, group B, carotene, and mineral compounds makes this culture very popular. Combines the speed of Salad Rocket and the flavour of Wild Rocket. An upright habit so keeps the attractive serrated leaves clean and disease free. Pungency increases as the plants develop.

Sowing Instructions: Sow from April to July in any good fertile, well-drained soil. Sow thinly 6 mm deep in drills spaced 45-60 cm apart.
Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin out to 23-30 cm apart.
Aftercare Instructions: Pick the young leaves as required over the whole row rather than just one or two plants as this would weaken them. As the flower buds appear pinch them out to prolong cropping.
Agricultural technology.
Sowing in open ground at the end of April to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. If necessary, seedlings are thinned out with a distance between plants of 8-10 cm. To obtain greenery in a continuous mode, repeated crops are carried out with an interval of 2 weeks until the end of August. Very unpretentious and resistant to cold.
Arugula can be effectively grown both in the open and protected ground, sowing seeds in a permanent place or planting seedlings. The seedling method allows you to save seeds and get an earlier and higher yield. Seeds are sown or seedlings are planted with a row spacing of 30-40 cm, in a row between plants 10-15 cm. A denser placement of plants is also possible if timely thinning is carried out, which usually occurs when sowing seeds.
Arugula is great for year-round growing at home on the windowsill.
