Leaves are compound and have a spicy, peppery flavor. Arugula is a cool season vegetable best grown during the spring and fall.
Plants mature within two to three months from seeds.
Warm temperatures cause plants to bolt. Grow arugula as you would leaf lettuce. Copyright Information Copyright 1995 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
