Description
Perennial wall rocket – Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a short lived perennial salad leaf with a more fiery flavour and delicate deeply serrated leaves than salad rocket ( Eruca sativa). Belonging to the Brassica family, it is native to Europe and the Mediterranean region and has naturalised in many temperate regions. Unlike salad rocket which is quick to bolt, perennial wall rocket can be harvested several times and will produce more leaves even after flowering. You can cut the plant down to encourage a bigger flush of new leaves now and again. It will also self sow and you will find it popping up in the nooks and crannies of your growing space once it is introduced. It can survive down to about -10c and will thrive in sun or part shade and prefers free draining soil. Space plants about 30cm apart, they can reach 50-60cm tall and have a woody stem and a bit of a floppy growth habit. It can also be grown successfully in containers. Leaves can be used in salads, sprinkled on pizzas or made into a delicious pesto. Flowers are edible too.
