Shop nowOrganic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds define a classic leafy salad crop valued for peppery salad leaves, quick growth, and dependable performance in cool conditions. Also known as Arugula (Eruca sativa), this culinary herb fits seamlessly into a salad greens mix, mesclun mix, or as microgreens arugula for a spicy kick. A quick maturing leafy green, it thrives as cut-and-come-again greens, providing frequent baby leaf harvests and a long flowering display if allowed to mature. Compared with wild rocket, many selections offer a balanced bite that suits everyday kitchen use. As an edible staple with versatile leaves and occasional edible flowers, it brings freshness and variety to the kitchen garden while supporting biodiversity in mixed plantings.
For steady results, Organic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds perform best in full sun in cool weather and benefit from partial shade in heat. Direct sow outdoors as soon as soil is workable and sow successionally until warm weather dominates; resume sowing as temperatures cool, and in mild climates autumn sowing may be possible. Consistent moisture helps maintain tender, spicy greens and supports a harvest-little-and-often rhythm. Many modern strains show useful traits such as bolt resistant arugula tendencies, extending the window of baby leaf harvest. Whether grown for a standalone patch or blended with other salad greens, this cool season crop remains reliable for rapid germination and a continuous pick of leaves.
In containers, window boxes, or compact beds, Organic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds adapt well, making a tidy option for small spaces and patios. Plants integrate easily among herbs and other leafy salad crops, complementing a kitchen garden herb collection. When allowed to bloom, the delicate white flowers can aid pollinating insects, adding ecological value alongside the leafy harvest. From direct sow outdoors to harvest little and often, Organic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds keep pace with busy schedules, offering quick returns, lively flavor, and a steady stream of greens for salads, sandwiches, and simple dishes. Synonyms such as Organic Arugula Seeds or Organic Salad Rocket Seeds reflect the same dependable, cool-weather character.

Arugula is a quick‑maturing, cool‑season leafy salad crop with peppery, cut‑and‑come‑again greens. Direct sow as soon as soil is workable, repeating small sowings until heat arrives; sow again as temperatures cool (in mild climates autumn sowing may be possible). Grow in full sun in cool weather, shifting to light shade in heat to reduce bolting. Provide moist, well‑drained, moderately fertile soil and consistent moisture; avoid waterlogging. Thin to 10–15 cm within rows spaced 25–30 cm, and expect plants to reach about 20–30 cm. Harvest baby leaves for mesclun or let them size up for spicier greens, picking little and often to maintain tender growth.
Organic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds are best direct sown in cool conditions into moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Rake a fine seedbed, sow thinly, and cover very lightly; keep the surface evenly moist until emergence. Provide full sun in cool weather, shifting to light shade during heat. As a quick maturing leafy green, rocket suits cut-and-come-again picking: harvest little and often once leaves are a usable size. For microgreens arugula, sow densely in shallow trays and harvest young for a spicy greens garnish.
Sow as soon as the soil is workable and nights are cool; this cool season crop prefers germination and growth in mild temperatures. Make small, succession sowings every couple of weeks until sustained heat arrives. Resume sowing in late summer as temperatures begin to fall; in mild climates, autumn sowing may also be possible. This approach spreads your baby leaf harvest, keeps quality high, and reduces the risk of rapid bolting during warm spells.
After emergence, thin seedlings to around 10–15 cm (4–6 in) between plants, with 25–30 cm (10–12 in) between rows, aiming for good airflow and easy picking. For baby leaf harvest or mesclun mix, closer spacing is often used, accepting smaller leaves. Thin seedlings gradually and use the thinnings as mild baby greens. Plants typically reach 20–30 cm (8–12 in) in height, and consistent moisture in a well-drained, fertile soil helps maintain tender, peppery foliage.
Arugula prefers cool conditions and may bolt quickly in heat. To slow bolting, provide partial shade in heat, keep soil moisture consistent (avoid waterlogging), and harvest promptly as leaves size up. Mulch lightly to keep roots cool, and sow successionally so fresh plants replace any that race to flower. If warm conditions persist, pause sowing and wait until temperatures cool; some gardeners also choose bolt‑resistant arugula types when available.
Yes—rocket performs well in containers provided there’s good drainage and a moisture-retentive, free-draining growing medium. Place pots where they receive full sun in cool weather and light shade as temperatures rise. Water often enough to keep the compost evenly moist without saturation; shallow, frequent droughts can make leaves overly strong and encourage early flowering. Harvest as cut-and-come-again greens, and refresh containers with small sowings to maintain a steady supply.
If allowed to flower, arugula’s small, edible blooms can attract pollinators, adding biodiversity to the kitchen garden herb bed; note that letting plants bloom reduces leaf production. Light frosts are often tolerated, especially by established plants, but harder freezes can damage foliage—use simple protection if cold snaps are forecast. Plants may self-seed if flowers set seed, so remove spent blooms if you want to limit volunteers and keep the focus on leafy harvests.
Seed is sourced from audited producers and inspected suppliers, with batches tested for purity and viability, and stored under controlled conditions for traceability. Products are labelled with lot and sow-by data and supplied in line with applicable seed and plant-health regulations and biosecurity requirements. Guidance provided is general and may vary with local conditions, including microclimate, soil, hardiness zone, and hemisphere. Product pages carry specific instructions, including any treatment declarations and handling notes.
Organic Rocket (Rucola) Seeds produce tender, peppery leaves suited to cool conditions and quick harvests. Sow shallowly after the last frost; in mild climates, autumn sowing may be possible. Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm, keep soil evenly moist, and provide bright light with light shade during warm spells to slow bolting. Harvest baby leaves in 20–30 days; for fuller rosettes, 35–45 days. Regular cutting encourages new growth and helps delay flowering as days lengthen. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for a steady supply. Rocket prefers well-drained, fertile soil; avoid excess nitrogen, which can dilute flavor. Leaves are most aromatic in cool weather, and plants tolerate light frost. Space rows to allow airflow, water at soil level to reduce leaf wetness, and remove older leaves to keep plants vigorous. This crop is part of the Organic Seeds category.
