Arugula Seed

Note: Germination instructions are not on seed packets, follow the instructions below for starting seed.

Arugula performs best under cool temperatures. Arugula will tolerate dappled sun-light though full sun is best.
Arugula will grow on a wide range of soils, but produces best in loose fertile loams. Soils should provide good water holding capacity, good internal drainage, and a pH of 6.0-7.0.
Sow arugula seeds 1/8" deep in a 3" wide band with seeds approximately 1" apart. Space rows at 18" apart. Do not thin.

Mainly as a salad herb, notably in 'mesclun', a traditional mixed salad of tiny leaves from the Nice area of France.
May also be added to stir-fries and pasta sauces. Flowers, seeds, and oils are also edible.
