There are more choices for Arugula than you would think! Don’t forget that arugula is a great candidate for your spring and fall garden and for hydroponics.
Seed Ideas:
The following four choices can be found at Botanical Interests
Rocket – when you are shopping for arugula at the grocery store, this is the variety that you will probably see.
Rocky Wild Rocket – this variety has thin, lobed leaves, grows in rosette form and will reach up to 10 inches. Also, it is said to have a stronger flavor.
Wild Rocket – this variety looks similar to the Rocky Wild Rocket but grow up to 24 inches tall.
Astro – this one has wider leaves and is slow to bolt.
The next two ideas are from High Mowing Seeds:
Esmee – This one tastes more nutty than spicy.
Uber – this variety has smaller, serrated leaves.
The next two ideas come from Rare Seeds:
Red Dragon – the veins are red.
Wasabi – this variety tastes like wasabi.
Renee’s Garden carries some good choices for arugula too. The last time we chatted about vegetable seed ideas, I shared some ideas for artichokes.
