Name: Rocket: Esmee
Latin Name: Eruca Sativa
Description: Rocket Esmee is a tender salad rocket with beautiful leaves. Young leaves have a nice peppery flavour and could even be described as a little nutty and sweet. As Rocket Leaf matures, it develops a strong spicy flavour.
Seed Origin: Netherlands
Sowing: April to September
Harvesting: May to October
How To Grow Rocket From Seed: Sow the seeds evenly in shallow drills. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave a spacing of 2cm between plants. The thinnings can be eaten. You can pick the leaves of young plants as soon as they are ready. Succession sow throughout the season for a constant supply.
Can be started earlier or later under protection.
Water well in dry spells or hot weather to prevent plants from running to seed. You can also grow Rocket in large pots and other containers. Just sprinkle some seed onto good quality compost and keep watered.
Seed count is approximate.

Customer Reviews
My garden wasn't ready to sow into it with these seeds but I was keen to try them and have at least some rocket to harvest soon. So, I mass sowed some seeds into a pot and was very happy to see quick germination and good growth.
I have sampled a few leaves and at this point, they have a very good peppery taste and am looking forward to them getting a bit bigger. I'll soon sow more of these to have a constant supply.
Germinated well and providing me with regular salad leaves.
Thanks again
