As demand for peppery leaves grew, this tougher perennial species was brought into cultivation alongside true rocket and is now widely grown for the bagged-salad trade thanks to its intense flavour and excellent regrowth. The genus name \u003cem\u003eDiplotaxis\u003c\/em\u003e refers to the seeds being arranged in two rows in the pod, while \u003cem\u003etenuifolia\u003c\/em\u003e means slender-leaved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanical characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike annual rocket, Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a short-lived perennial forming a tough rosette of deeply cut, narrow, almost feathery leaves on a wiry plant. Its yellow flowers contrast with the white blooms of true rocket. The leaves are smaller, darker and considerably hotter, with a flavour that builds as the plant matures, and the rootstock allows it to regrow vigorously after cutting and to overwinter where it isn't too cold. It belongs naturally among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fresh-leafy-greens\"\u003efresh leafy greens\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Diplotaxis tenuifolia from seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild rocket is sown much like salad rocket but rewards a little patience — it is slower to establish, then crops for far longer. Sow direct from spring to late summer, thin lightly, and cut as cut-and-come-again leaves; established plants can give pickings well into autumn and beyond under cover. It tolerates poorer, drier soils than most leaves.
