Arugula SimplySalad®

Arugula SimplySalad® is an upright edible leafy annual grown for its peppery salad greens. The [Ball Seed listing](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=006506195000001) identifies the plant as *Eruca sativa* and describes a 12–18 inch height and spread, partial sun to sun, and medium water. Its young leaves have a mild, nutty flavor; the leaves become more pungent as they mature or grow in warmer conditions. ### Kitchen Garden Use Grow it in a vegetable bed or container near the kitchen so leaves can be picked as needed. The compact, upright habit works well for repeated small harvests. The SimplySalad® product is described as a uniform, quick-establishing variety with a mix of lobed and smooth leaf shapes. ### Growing Conditions Provide sun or partial sun and keep the soil evenly supplied with moisture. Follow the seed supplier’s crop instructions for sowing and harvest timing; the listed 12–18 inch dimensions describe mature plant size, not spacing. ## Maintenance Harvest outer leaves while young for milder flavor, and keep picking before plants become overmature. Re-sow according to the seed supplier’s directions when a continuing supply is wanted.
