Colours, shapes, taste, and smells are some of the joys of growing an organic garden. The certified organic seeds grown by Stellar Seeds are selected to offer the best of all these qualities. Stellar seeds are open-pollinated, grown in British Columbia, and farmed using holistic practices that maximize soil health and promote biodiversity.
Arugula: Also known as Roquette, this popular southern European leaf has become well-loved in North America, particularly as an addition to salad mixes. The distinct pepper flavour works well in many dishes – try the fresh leaves scattered on top of pizza after you take it out of the oven. Grows quickly, ready to harvest in 3-4 weeks. Ideal for cut-and-come-again culture. Certified Organic.
Planting Instructions
Start from seed in winter or spring. Start seeds inside by growing in tray or cheesecloth. Moisten the growing medium and spread seed sparsely. Seed can be covered or not. Place in low light at room temperature. Keep the growing medium moist by misting every day or two. When plants shed their hulls, move them to the light. Put transplants in every 4 weeks in spring and every 3 weeks during the summer. Locate arugula in a sunny location in the garden. It will tolerate partial sunlight. Water regularly and frequently, but don’t overwater.
