Umuthi Rocket Growing Seeds

Umuthi Rocket Growing Seeds grow punchy, peppery greens with a fresh, nutty bite. Also known as arugula, Eruca sativa is a quick cool-weather crop that suits full sun to partial shade and rich, well-draining soil. The leaves are excellent in salads, sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, pastas, pestos, dressings, and green sauces.

Rocket is ideal for cut-and-come-again harvesting, giving regular pickings from a small garden bed, raised planter, or container. Why we love it: Rocket is fast, flavourful, and incredibly useful in everyday meals. A small patch can keep the kitchen supplied with peppery leaves for salads, pizzas, pastas, and quick garnishes.
