Description
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. Best cut as small leaves. Slow to bolt.
Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | April to July. |
|---|---|
| Sowing depth: | 6mm (¼ inch) deep in drills spaced 45-60cm (18-24 inches) apart. |
Sow in any good fertile, well drained soil. Sow thinly.
Growing Instructions
When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin out to 23-30cm (9-12 inches) 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.
