Arugula - Wild The Arugula Wild Rocket Salad, Roquette, 'Eruca vesicaaria sativa', is one of the most popular new greens. Descriptions such as hot with a hint of nut flavor, tart, and spicy are used to describe Arugula. It is most often eaten raw in salads but it is also steamed or added to many other dishes like pizza. Arugula, when mature, grow to 2 to 3 feet tall, but the leaves are tastiest and less bitter when harvested 2 to 6 inches long. Plant in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the last average frost date and plant successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until first fall frost approaches.
