Rocket Runway Seeds

Sow Rocket Runway seeds thinly in well-drained soil, either in containers or directly into garden beds. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and seedlings should appear within a week or two. For a steady supply, sow every few weeks from early spring to late summer. Rocket grows quickly, so you can start picking baby leaves in as little as three weeks. Cut the leaves regularly to encourage new growth and enjoy fresh, peppery greens for longer. Check the packet of seeds for more precise instructions.

Sow rocket seeds outdoors from March to August for a continuous harvest through the warmer months. In warm, early-season weather, provide some shade to stop your rocket from bolting. For best results, sow little and often to keep the leaves tender and full of flavour.

Yes, rocket can self-seed if left to flower, often popping up in the same spot the following year. If you’d like to encourage this, let some plants go to seed and allow them to scatter naturally. Or, if you prefer, collect the seeds and replant them where you want fresh growth next season.
