Sylvetta Arugula (Wild Rocket, Roquette Sauvage)

Also known as Wild Rocket, Sylvetta Arugula is the wild relative of the increasingly popular cultivated arugula.  Known in France as roquette sauvage where it is a popular foraging green commonly found growing on roadsides.  Leaves have a pleasant peppery flavor that is great in leafy salads and mesclun mixes.  More cold-tolerant and slower growing than it's cultivated relative, this arugula is perfect for sowing in early fall for winter-long harvests.  Spring sowings must be made early, lest the leaves become too strongly flavored at harvest time.  Approximately 40 days to harvest.  Each packet contains a minimum of 500 seeds.
