Eruca sativa.

Annual, open pollinated.

Arugula is an heirloom green that has been used since roman times! This green is Mediterranean in origin. A peppery addition to salads, a perfect topping for pizza, I love to eat it with mustard greens. A must have in the garden, as it will produce all summer long- it will head up into dusty white flowers, at which point the peppery greens will intensify in taste. 

20 days to baby leaves, 40 days to maturity

approx.100 seeds per pack

Seed starting:

Sow 1/8 inch deep directly in your garden as soon as the soil can be worked !
