Italian classic - fresh harvest after 4 weeks. Perennial wall-rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia), also known as perennial arugula, is a plant that starts producing sooner than any other lettuce. The slightly nutty, spicy flavor of its leaves is the essence of Mediterranean cuisine - perfect for pizza, pasta, sandwiches and prosciutto.
Perennial arugula differs from the popular annual arugula (Eruca sativa): it forms a compact rosette close to the ground, produces smaller, narrower leaves with a much more pronounced flavor, and remains in the soil for years. It is frost-hardy and undemanding when it comes to location - it grows well both in garden beds and in pots on a balcony or windowsill.
Sowing (April - June, direct sowing): sow the seeds directly into the ground in rows 25–30 cm apart, at a depth of 0.5–1 cm. It is best to sow in batches every 2–3 weeks so you have fresh leaves throughout the season.
Care: water regularly but moderately. Arugula does not tolerate overwatering (brown spots on the leaves) or drought. Weed and mulch if necessary.
Harvest: young leaves are the tastiest - harvest the top 5–7 cm of the stem when the plant is 10–15 cm tall. After cutting, it regrows and produces additional harvests.
After the season: as a perennial plant, arugula overwinters in the ground. It produces new leaves again in spring - there is no need to sow it every year.
A classic of Italian cuisine: for pizza (scattered over a hot pizza after it comes out of the oven), for pasta, in caprese salads with mozzarella and tomatoes, with prosciutto and Parmesan. Excellent as a green garnish for sandwiches. It can also be cooked as a vegetable (like spinach) - it then loses its spiciness but retains its flavor.
Arugula in full sun quickly bolts in summer - the leaves then become bitter and unpalatable. In summer, it is worth sowing it in partial shade or regularly cutting off the flower heads as soon as they appear to keep the plant in the leafy stage. In the cooler part of the year (spring and autumn), this problem disappears.
