Rocket 'Sylvetta'
Rocket 'Sylvetta' is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
A completely different plant to standard rocket. 'Sylvetta' has dark green, deeply indented leaves with a piquant, peppery flavour. It is slower growing with small, yellow, edible flowers.
The plant tends to sprawl, so needs a bit of room; it also may self sow. It is more heat and cold tolerant than standard rocket. A unique addition to a salad and can also be added to stir-fries.
It prefers a moderate to rich loamy soil. Grows from full sun to partial shade. Sow seed spring and autumn, avoid sowing during hot weather. Keep soil evenly moist for tender leaves that are not too spicy. Days to harvest: 50
