Wildfire Wasabi flavour – Diplotaxis tenuifolia

Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a perennial rocket with narrow, deeply divided leaves and yellow flowers. 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. The catalogue average is 3900 seeds per gram, a useful reference when comparing bulk quantities.
