Arugula is a fast-growing leafy green with tender, slightly lobed leaves and a bold peppery-nutty flavor. This Non-GMO heirloom is useful for fresh salads, sandwiches, pizza, stir-fries, sauces, and garnishes. When conditions are favorable, it can keep producing beyond the earliest cool-season window, and succession planting helps keep young leaves coming for the kitchen.

Germination Rate: 99%. Test Date: 10/25. JSS.

Why Choose Arugula?

• Fast-growing greens: Harvest tender leaves in weeks rather than waiting through a long growing season.
• Bold peppery flavor: Add a spicy-nutty bite to salads, sandwiches, pizza, and finished dishes.
• Succession-friendly: Sow at intervals for a more continuous supply of young leaves.
• Versatile harvest: Use tender leaves fresh or add mature leaves to cooked dishes such as stir-fries.
• Non-GMO heirloom: Grow a traditional leafy green for fresh, homegrown harvests.

Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Sow in early spring or late summer for cool-weather production, and make additional sowings as conditions allow.
• Sunlight: Grow in full sun to partial shade. Afternoon shade can help extend harvests during hot weather.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with finished compost.
• Planting depth: Sow seeds about ¼ inch deep and cover lightly.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings for baby-leaf harvests or leave more room for larger plants and airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during warm weather, to encourage tender leaves.
• Succession planting: Sow a new short row every 2–3 weeks for a steady rotation of young greens.
• Harvesting: Pick outer leaves while young and tender, or harvest the whole plant when it reaches the size you prefer. Remove flower stalks if you want to extend leaf production.
