Growing Rocket Esmee from Seed
Rocket 'Esmee' is a fast-growing and easy-to-cultivate herb that thrives in sunny conditions.
To grow this delicious and nutritious plant, select a sunny location in your garden with well-drained soil. Add compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil fertility.
Sow seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1 cm deep and 15 cm apart. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once the seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them out to a distance of 15 cm between plants.
Harvest the rocket leaves as needed, starting 3-4 weeks after sowing. Cut the leaves at the base of the plant to encourage new growth.
