Growing tips:
Sow directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in spring or late summer for an autumn harvest. Space the seeds approximately 15 to 20 cm apart to allow for good plant development. Ensure regular watering to keep the soil slightly moist, especially during hot weather.
'Bellezia' rocket prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a location in full sun or partial shade. Slightly moist soil will prolong the harvest period by limiting bolting.
Harvest the leaves when they reach 10 to 15 cm in length for optimal flavor. This variety is distinguished by its slightly peppery taste and tender texture, ideal for salads, sandwiches, or as an elegant garnish. Regular harvesting will encourage the production of new leaves.
