Product description
This herb plant will allow you to grow your own tasty Rocket Leaves from home. They are perfect for beginners, largely due to their hardy and easy to care for nature, whilst they will continue to provide delightful produce for years to come. The process of growing these plants means you can take pride in your work and get others involved as the plants progress from start to finish. They will provide great culinary benefits by adding delightful taste and flavour to meals such as soups, pizzas, stews and many more.
The best time for planting them in the garden is in Spring, with Summer seeing their most substantial growth period. You can choose whether to grow them indoors or outdoors, but make sure that they receive plenty of sunlight at all times so they can thrive. Due to being pretty drought tolerant, watering can be carried out to maintain a moist texture in the soil, so that it is never too dry or overwatered.

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.
