Used as a culinary herb since Roman times, Wild Rocket has distinctive deep green serrated leaves, with a more intense and pungent flavour than standard salad Rocket. It adds peppery sophistication to salads, and it's a great match with nuts, fruit and a zesty dressing. Hardy and drought tolerant once established.
Features
- Peppery flavour
- Mesclun ingredient
- Fast growing
