Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Wild Rocket arugula thrives in cooler weather, making it ideal for spring and fall planting. It prefers well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Ensure full sun to partial shade for best growth. Regularly harvest young leaves to encourage new growth and prevent bolting.
When to Grow
Plant Wild Rocket arugula in early spring or late summer. Aim for temperatures between 40-70 F. In warmer climates, consider fall planting to avoid heat-induced bolting. Check local frost dates to plan sowing. Succession planting every few weeks is a good strategy to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in rows 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart when they reach a few inches tall. For continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Wild Rocket Arugula is well-suited for container gardening as well, provided the containers have good drainage and the soil is kept consistently moist​.
How to Grow
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and control weeds. Regularly remove flower stalks to extend leaf production. Although Wild Rocket is not a heavy feeder, a light application of a balanced fertilizer or additional compost may be beneficial if the soil is not particularly fertile. This variety is more resilient against pests and diseases compared to other arugula types, but still, keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and flea beetles. Organic pest control methods, like neem oil or insecticidal soap, can be effective if needed.
How to Save
To save seeds from Wild Rocket arugula, allow some plants to bolt and produce flowers, which will turn into seed pods. Once the pods have dried on the plant, you can harvest them and let them dry further in a paper bag. Gently crush the pods to release the seeds, and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season. Saving seeds from Wild Rocket ensures you can continue to grow this flavorful variety year after year​.
