Diplotaxis tenuifolia – Wild Rocket: Spicy Flavor and Robust Growth

Wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a perennial plant prized for its peppery, nutty flavor and vigorous growth. Unlike regular rocket (Eruca sativa), this variety has a more intense taste and a longer harvesting period. It is an excellent choice for a natural vegetable garden and attracts pollinators with its yellow flowers.
