Plant Good Seed Astro Arugula

Astro Arugula is a cool-season crop that thrives in spring and autumn. You should aim to harvest before the heat of summer, as high temperatures will cause the plant to bolt, or go to seed prematurely.

You can expect to harvest baby leaves in as little as 21 to 40 days, while full-sized plants typically take between 30 and 55 days. The exact timing depends on your local climate and how you choose to harvest.

Astro Arugula is highly versatile and grows well in both containers and garden beds. Because the plants can reach up to 2 feet in height, ensure your container is deep enough to support root growth if you are aiming for full-sized plants.

If you leave the plant to flower, it will produce spicy, edible blossoms. These are a beautiful addition to salads or bouquets, though the leaves themselves may become more pungent as the plant focuses its energy on flowering.

For baby leaves, you can sow the seeds thickly in rows. If you prefer larger, individual plants, space them 8 to 16 inches apart to give them enough room to reach their full potential.
