Salad Rocket (seed tape)

A little of it, mixed with other salads, gives them an unmistakable, pleasant aroma. The culture is simple and fast as radishes. The plants form rosettes with spoon-shaped leaves. They are hardy and can be sown all year round, both outdoors, in the cold frame and in the greenhouse.
