Product information

A true staple for summer salads, Rocket Salad delivers a punch of flavor with its peppery, dark green leaves.

This versatile and easy-to-grow variety thrives when sown successionally, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the growing season. Ideal for use as a "cut and come again" crop, it allows multiple harvests from the same plants. Perfect for adding zest to salads, it can also be cultivated as a microgreen, making it a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking both convenience and flavor.

Handy Tip: For an early start, sow seeds in containers within a cold glasshouse for optimal growth. To enjoy micro salads year-round, sow seeds weekly in trays under glass or on a sunny windowsill. Harvest the seedlings when young to use as a fresh, flavourful garnish.

Where to Sow	For baby leaves, sow seeds thinly in well-prepared soil from spring to early autumn. To enjoy a regular harvest, plant seeds in succession every couple of weeks, ensuring optimal spacing for healthy growth. This method ensures a continuous supply of fresh and flavorful leaves.
What to Do Next	Ensure the soil remains consistently moist to support healthy growth. Harvest leaves from each plant carefully, leaving some foliage intact to encourage regrowth. With proper care, you can typically enjoy multiple cuttings from each plant, prolonging your harvest season.
