Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a perennial rocket with narrow, deeply divided leaves and yellow flowers.
Botanical characteristics
The peppery foliage has similar culinary uses to salad rocket, but the species and life cycle differ. It tolerates heat comparatively well and prefers well-drained soil. “Wild rocket” is therefore a useful distinction from annual Eruca references.
