Wild Rocket - Organic Seeds | Vegetable Seeds | Thompson & Morgan

Wild Rocket (Sisymbrium racemosum), also known as Prickly Seed Worts, is a wonderfully versatile and productive herb offering a remarkably intense peppery flavor. These organic seeds from Thompson & Morgan provide a fantastic opportunity to cultivate your own source of fresh, bold flavor. Ideal for kitchen windowsill herb gardens, Wild Rocket thrives in full sun or partial shade, and can be sown from March to August, or even under glass year-round for continuous harvests.

Sowing instructions recommend planting seeds 13mm deep in drills 30cm apart, or thinly in a well-prepared seedbed. Whether you sow outdoors or under glass, regular thinning is crucial to ensure robust growth and prevent overcrowding. Thinning to 23cm apart, or leaving unthinned and picking 'baby leaves' offers flexibility to suit your needs.

To maintain optimal flavor and prevent bolting (premature flowering and seed production), keep the soil consistently well-watered. Regularly harvesting young leaves will encourage continued production and preserve the intense peppery taste. Wild Rocket’s distinctive, prickly seed heads add a unique visual element to your garden, and the seeds themselves are a valuable food source for wildlife.

These organic seeds are a fantastic addition to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes, providing a significant flavor boost. Thompson & Morgan’s reputation for quality and expertise ensures you’re receiving premium seeds for a rewarding growing experience.
