Rocket, Wild Rocket ‘Nature’ (Diplotaxis tenuifolia)

Australia's favourite rocket and a much improved variety on previous selections. It is also slow to bolt. The dark green leaves have good texture and excellent flavour. Plant from early spring until mid-autumn for year round cropping. Wild rocket is so easily grown and makes such a refreshing salad that it’s hard to imagine not having any to pick. Plant successive batches every six weeks or so.
