Rocket Lettuce, commonly called Arugula or Salad Rocket, grows into a leafy green vegetable with slightly spicy leaves that are best harvested young for a softer texture and milder flavour. It performs well in cool weather, needs regular watering and fertile, well-drained soil, and grows nicely in 6-8 inch pots, containers, raised beds, and home vegetable gardens.

Native to the Mediterranean region, it spread worldwide as a favourite salad leaf for its quick growth, peppery bite, and versatile use in fresh meals and everyday kitchen recipes.
