Organic Salad Rocket Seeds

Organic Salad Rocket Seeds

Organic Salad Rocket Seeds produce deeply notched green leaves with a deliciously strong, peppery flavour. This productive organic salad leaf is particularly useful for gardeners looking for a reliable cut-and-come-again crop, as the plants are slow to bolt and quickly produce fresh growth after cutting.

The flavourful leaves are excellent for salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pasta dishes, and garnishes. Regular harvesting helps prevent plants from running to seed while encouraging a continuous supply of tender young foliage.

Easy and quick to grow, Organic Salad Rocket can be sown in small batches throughout the season, making it ideal for kitchen gardens, raised beds, containers, and allotments.
