Product description
Rocket Wild is a perennial, leafy green vegetable packed with potassium and vitamin C. The deep green, serrated leaves have an intense peppery flavour, much stronger than regular rocket. It’s great in salads but can also be cooked and added to soups and stir fries.
Plant Rocket Wild in moist, well-drained soil in full sun, although it may need some shade in particularly hot, sunny weather. Keep the soil moist, but do not overwater as this can dilute the flavour.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
