30-45 days. Arugula's flavor has been
described as peppery, mustardy,
hot with a hint of nut flavor, tart,
and spicy. It adds such an exciting,
interesting flavor and texture to
salads. Most often eaten raw in
salads but also steamed or added
raw to many other dishes such
as pizza! Also a good container
variety.
This packet sows six
10-foot rows or ten successive
sowings of 6-foot rows.
