Arugula/Rucola Selvatica-Wild Arugula Franchi Seed Packet

Arugula selvatica means wild arugula. This is the type of arugula (also called Rucola or Rocket) that grows wild in the countryside around Rome. Wild Arugula is slower growing, ready in about 50 days, with delicately serrated leaves and a stronger, more pungent flavor. Holds up to dressings or sauces better than cultivated arugula.

Sprinkle seeds about an inch apart. Replant frequently for a long season of harvest, as there are plenty of seeds.  Arugula selvatica has 3,000 seeds per gram so 3-gram packet is about 9,000 seeds.
