Arugula has been grown since Roman times, reputedly as an aphrodisiac, and is used widely in Italian cuisine. It's great as a salad ingredient, or simply eaten alone with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. In Italy, it is often wilted over hot pizza or in pasta just before serving. Ischia, an island in the Bay of Naples, has a traditional digestif liqueur made from arugula, called rucolino. Arugula pesto is made just like basil pesto, and is a good substitute when the weather is too cold for basil. Arugula survives low temperatures and is usually the first and last salad green in the garden. Under row cover, it will survive all but the coldest winters.
Arugula coltivata means cultivated Arugula. It is the quickest variety, ready to eat in about 30-40 days from direct sowing. In cool weather, the flavor is mild but as the temperature rises, so does the "peppery" flavor. It is best when picked in the baby to adolescent stage, 4 to 6 inches tall.
Sprinkle seeds about an inch apart. Replant frequently — every 2-3 weeks — for a long season of harvest. Our huge packets provide plenty of seed.
Arugula seed is about 500 seeds per gram, so our 12 gram packet of Arugula Coltivata is about 6,000 seeds.

Greg Arugula/Rucola seed turns out the best flavored plants ever. I got 2 planting seasons with one package for my small garden. Placing a new order today for the 2023 season. The second season produced decent but was a drop off as expected. I gave much of the plants to family and neighbors and everyone tells me it is their favorite. The flavor is nutty and peppery with a fresh taste you cannot buy from even the best small groceries in your town. Plant this seed you will not be disappointed.

Suzie Mendelson Great flavor and tremendous germination rate. Planted 2nd set just this week for end of summer, fall greens. Best value for the money.

Shopify Have enjoyed great success with all "Seeds from Italy", to include the cultivated arugula. Had very difficult time the previous year with germination of wild arugula, however the cultivated arugula is wonderful!

Sandra Pucci I have used these seeds for years. They perform very well, and the arugula is very tasty. I prefer this particular variety to others I have tried.

Carol in Texas I ordered this variety of Arugala in 2006 and have used it every spring and fall since. I store the seed in the refrigerator and it is still viable and a great performer. It has a nice, spicy, nutty flavor and adds a kick to salads and sandwiches. I harvest by cutting the leaves and allowing the plant to continue to produce for several months.
