Description
Rocket Salad Leaf Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
The Eruca sativa, commonly known as Rocket or Arugula, is a fast-growing, aromatic leafy green known for its peppery, tangy flavour.
The Latin name Eruca sativa is derived from "eruca," which means "cabbage" in Latin, reflecting its relation to the cabbage family, and "sativa," which refers to its cultivated nature.
Rocket is widely used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish, adding a spicy kick to dishes. It’s perfect for those who enjoy a bold flavour in their fresh produce.
This hardy plant grows to a height of 20-30 cm and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade. Rocket is quick to mature, usually ready to harvest in just 4-6 weeks from sowing.
Its leaves can be harvested continuously as the plant grows, offering a steady supply of fresh, peppery leaves for your kitchen. Rocket is also known for its ability to tolerate cooler temperatures, making it ideal for growing in spring, autumn, or mild winters.
Seed Qty: Approx. 750
Sow: March - September (outdoors)
Germination: 7 - 14 days
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil; slightly acidic to neutral pH
Height: 20 - 30 cm
Harvesting: 4-6 weeks after sowing
Companion Plants: Spinach, Lettuce, Radishes

Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells, to ensure continuous leaf production and prevent the plants from becoming too bitter.
Sowing Instructions
Outdoors: Sow directly into prepared soil in rows, spacing seeds 2-3 cm apart, from March to September. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings to 20-30 cm apart once established to allow for proper growth.
Rocket Salad Leaf is a perfect choice for gardeners who want a quick, easy-to-grow crop that adds a peppery punch to their meals. Whether grown in garden beds, containers, or window boxes, it’s an excellent addition to any herb or salad garden.
