Wild arugula (Diplotaxis tenuifolia)

This plant with lobed and narrow leaves has a more pungent taste than that of cultivated arugula. It will appeal to those who love arugula salad as well as gardeners who like to taste a few leaves in passing, on hot summer days.;Arugula reseeds itself year after year.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
When thinning, be careful not to damage the plants that will remain in place because they are still fragile. When the plants have a few leaves, thin out by removing the weakest so as to leave a plant every 10 to 15 cm. Germination generally takes place about ten days after sowing and thinning can be done immediately after the appearance of the first leaves. The wild arugula is discreet during the winter but will start up again in the spring and will remain in place for several years.
