Product description
Rocket Wild is a perennial, leafy green vegetable packed with potassium and vitamin C. The deep green, serrated leaves have an intense peppery flavour, much stronger than regular rocket. It’s great in salads but can also be cooked and added to soups and stir fries.
Plant Rocket Wild in moist, well-drained soil in full sun, although it may need some shade in particularly hot, sunny weather. Keep the soil moist, but do not overwater as this can dilute the flavour.
