How to grow arugula – for a speedy crop of peppery leaves to boost your salad bowl

Green leaves of an arugula plant up close.

Arugula is a popular spicy salad leaf that is very quick and simple to grow. Also often known as rocket, roquette, or rucola, in other parts of the world, it produces lobed leaves that can be ready to harvest in under a month from sowing.

This fast-growing crop grows low rosettes full of leaves that possess a peppery kick. Happy to grow in the ground, raised beds, or in containers, you can easily get a large and extended arugula harvest for all your culinary needs.
