Easy to grow, it’s perfect for both seasoned gardeners and those new to growing herbs, providing a quick harvest that’s sure to elevate your culinary creations.
Sowing Instructions:
Sow Herb Rocket (Eruca sativa) seeds directly outdoors in well-drained soil, ideally in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Space the seeds about 2-3 cm apart, covering them lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as rocket prefers cool, moist conditions. For best results, sow in early spring or late summer to avoid the heat of summer, which can cause the plant to bolt. Rocket grows quickly and can be harvested in as little as 4-6 weeks, with continuous sowing ensuring a regular supply of fresh leaves.
This fast-growing herb thrives in both containers and garden beds, and it is highly resistant to pests, making it a low-maintenance choice for any herb garden. The leaves can be harvested young for a milder flavour or left to mature for a spicier, peppery taste. Herb Rocket is not only a versatile ingredient for salads, wraps, and garnishes but also a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K. Whether you're growing it in your vegetable garden, on a windowsill, or in a herb box, Kew VegeTable Rocket is a must-have for those seeking a fresh, homegrown addition to their kitchen.
