Sylvetta arugula is one of the quickest edible perennials that you can grow.The leaves can be harvested at the baby stage at 20 days, or full-sized at 50 days, and it keeps coming back year after year. It has a stronger flavour than regular arugula with more nuttiness and a peppery bite. Excellent in salads and on pizza and wilted into pasta.

The plants are more heat resistant that regular arugula, and do fine in partial shade or full sun. The flower stalks can be cut off to encourage more leaf growth throughout summer. Keep the plants well watered and harvest to prevent bolting. If the plants do bolt, the flowers are edible, and also loved by pollinators. Just cut the stalks off when they are done and the plants will keep on producing leaves.

Growing Instructions

Sow indoors or direct sow outside in spring through fall. Plant out when they have a few true leaves. Space plants a few inches apart.
