Rocket salad ORGANIC – Eruca sativa
Eruca sativa is the familiar salad-rocket name; botanical treatment places arugula under Eruca vesicaria. It is an annual leafy plant, distinct from perennial Diplotaxis tenuifolia. Cool conditions favour the leaf stage. Hot weather encourages flowering, changing leaf flavour and limiting further leaf growth, so seasonal response matters to its botanical description.
