Vintage Cultivated Rocket is a traditional Italian arugula valued for its intense aroma and distinctive peppery bite. This early, cold-resistant variety produces abundant dark green leaves and performs reliably across much of the year.
Easy to grow and fast to harvest, rocket regrows quickly after cutting and provides a continuous supply of fresh leaves. Ideal for salads, pizza toppings and warm dishes, it is a staple crop for the year-round kitchen garden.
