Astro Arugula is a fast-growing salad green known for its mild, peppery flavor and tender leaves. This organic variety is an excellent choice for gardeners who want a quick and easy crop for fresh salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and containers, and it can be harvested at the baby leaf stage or left to mature for a more robust flavor.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced grower, Astro Arugula delivers reliable performance and a steady supply of nutritious greens. It thrives in cooler weather and can be sown successively for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.

Planting & Care

Sow Astro Arugula seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 5-10 days. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Arugula prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather. Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender for the mildest flavor, or cut the entire plant at the base for a cut-and-come-again harvest. Keep an eye out for common pests like flea beetles, and use row covers if necessary.
