Garden rocket, also known as cultivated rocket, is a small annual native to the Mediterranean basin, now thriving in the organic vegetable gardens of our cooler climates. Its deeply lobed, deep green leaves add a touch of vibrancy to any available patch of soil, whether in a flower bed, a pot, or a planter on the balcony.

In a harmonious garden, arugula establishes itself as a discreet yet generous companion plant: it germinates quickly, covers the ground, and offers a succession of young leaves with a peppery flavor. By allowing a few plants to flower, you'll discover a white bloom with purplish veins that attracts pollinators and accompanies the cycle of the seasons, while also providing seeds for a truly sustainable approach to seed saving.
