  • Species and varieties: Arugula (Eruca vesicaria) is a leafy green vegetable known for its peppery flavor. Common varieties include 'Astro', 'Rocket', and 'Wild Arugula'. Each variety has slight differences in leaf shape, flavor intensity, and growth habits.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Arugula seeds are typically heirloom, meaning they are open-pollinated and can be saved and replanted from year to year. Some hybrid varieties may exist, but heirloom varieties are more common due to their robust flavor and adaptability.
  • Pruning and training: Arugula requires minimal pruning. Regularly harvesting the outer leaves encourages new growth and prevents the plant from bolting. If the plant starts to flower, pinch off the flower buds to extend the harvest period.
  • Fertilization needs: Arugula benefits from a well-balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied at planting time. Additional feeding with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer can promote leafy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth and reduced flavor.
  • Hardiness zones: Arugula can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-11. It is a cool-season crop that thrives in mild temperatures.
  • Climate requirements: Arugula prefers cool weather and can tolerate light frost. Ideal growing temperatures range from 45°F to 65°F (7°C to 18°C). It can be grown in both spring and fall, avoiding the hot summer months which can cause the plant to bolt and become bitter.
