Herb : Rocket : Skyrocket

Herb
T&M Exclusive

Description

Combines the speed of Salad Rocket and the flavour of Wild Rocket. Rocket Skyrocket has an upright habit, so keeps the attractive serrated leaves clean and disease free. Pungency increases as the plants develop. Rocket Skyrocket is best cut as small leaves. Slow to bolt.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds from April to July in any good fertile, well drained soil. Sow seeds thinly 6mm (¼ inch) deep in drills spaced 45-60cm (18-24 inches) apart.

Growing Instructions

When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin out to 23-30cm (9-12 inches) apart.

Aftercare

Pick the young leaves as required over the whole row rather than just one or two plants as this would weaken them. As the flower buds appear pinch them out to prolong cropping.
