(Wild arugula; White wall rocket)
Wild relative of the ever popular roquette or arugula salad green. Described as spicy and pungent, this has become very popular in Europe, particularly in Germany and northern Italy. Extremely cold hardy and a very quick and easy crop. Leaves can be used fresh or added to pasta dishes. Grows to 30-38cm/12-15in in any good well-drained soil in full sun. Slower to bolt than roquette.
