Product Details:

• Genus: Eruca
• Species: Eruca vesicaria (Arugula / Salad Rocket)
• Hardiness Zone:  USDA Zones 4 – 11 (Cool-season annual; tolerates light frosts down to 28°F).
  
• Days to Maturity: 21 - 28 days (For baby leaf) / 35 - 40 days (For mature size).
  
• Days to Germination: 5 to 7 days (Optimal soil temp: 55°F - 70°F).
• Seeding Depth: ¼ inch (0.6 cm).
  
• Row Spacing: 12 inches (30 cm) for mature plants; 6 inches (15 cm) for dense baby leaf cropping.
  
• Plant Height: 6 – 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) upright cluster.
  
• Growth Habit: Upright, spreading rosette. Features deeply lobed, jagged bright green leaves with a peppery aroma.
  
• Soil Preference: Loose, fertile, moisture-retentive loam rich in organic matter. pH 6.0 – 7.5.
  
• Temperature Preference: Cool weather. Best performance at 50°F - 65°F (10°C - 18°C). Will bolt quickly if temps consistently exceed 75°F.
  
• Light Preference: Full Sun (minimum 6 hours) to Partial Afternoon Shade.

How to Plant & Grow:

• Site Preparation: Choose a location with full sun to partial afternoon shade. Arugula prefers loose, fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Work 2-3 inches of aged compost into the top 6 inches of the soil.
  
• Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. For a continuous supply, succession-sow every 2 weeks. Plant seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep and cover lightly with fine soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination (5-7 days).
  

Spacing:

• For Mature Full Plants: Thin seedlings to 6 inches (15 cm) apart in rows spaced 12 inches (30 cm) apart.
  
• For Continuous Baby Leaf Harvest: Sow seeds densely at 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) apart in rows spaced 6 inches (15 cm) apart.
• Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 16 plants per 1-square-foot area
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist. Provide about 1 inch of water per week. Consistent moisture prevents the leaves from becoming overly bitter.
  
• Harvesting: Using sharp scissors, snip the outer lower leaves about 1 inch above the soil line. Leave the central core untouched, and it will rapidly regrow fresh leaves for repeated harvests.
  
• Gardener's Tip: Harvest young for the best flavor! For the mildest, most tender leaves, begin harvesting when the plants are 4-6 inches tall. If you let them grow too large, the flavor becomes much more intense and spicy.

• Fall Crop (Best Flavor):
