Lettuce Cultivated Rocket

A fast-growing and flavour-packed leafy green, Cultivated Rocket (also known as arugula) is prized for its peppery, slightly nutty taste that adds a punch to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. Its tender leaves are best enjoyed fresh, making it a favourite for home growers.

Quick to establish and easy to grow, rocket thrives in Irish growing conditions, especially in cooler months. Perfect for beds, containers, or windowsills, it offers rapid harvests and can be sown regularly for a continuous supply.

Key Features

• Peppery Flavour: Adds a bold taste to salads and dishes

• Fast Growing: Ready to harvest in a short time

Gardener’s Tip

Sow little and often in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position to keep a steady supply of fresh leaves. Rocket grows quickly, so regular sowing ensures continuous harvests.

Harvest young leaves for the best flavour and tenderness. Warmer temperatures can make leaves more peppery, so partial shade can help keep the taste milder during warmer spells.
