Organic Italian Rocket 'Sylvetta'
identification
description
Italian arugula Diplotaxis tenuifolia 'Sylvetta' is a perennial often grown as an annual, much appreciated for its finely cut foliage, great hardiness, and intensely fragrant flavor. In the garden, it brings a light yet generous presence, forming a dense clump of dark green leaves with a flexible and elegant habit. Its taste, more pronounced than common arugula, with peppery notes and a hint of hazelnut, makes it a favorite among gourmet gardeners looking for a green full of character. Very cold-hardy, it adapts wonderfully to spring and autumn sowings, thus extending the fresh harvest season. Grown in full sun or partial shade, it appreciates cool, well-drained soil that supports continuous production of tender young leaves. When allowed to flower, it also attracts pollinators, adding a valuable ecological dimension to the vegetable garden. It is best harvested young, still delicate and crisp, to instantly enhance salads, pizzas, sauces, or soups. Both flavorful, productive, and easy to grow, 'Sylvetta' is a choice arugula for vibrant and inspired vegetable gardens.
