Perfect for beginner and seasoned gardeners alike, arugula thrives in cool temperatures, making it ideal for spring and fall planting. With leaves ready to harvest in as little as 20–30 days, it’s one of the quickest crops to grow from seed, offering a continuous harvest when planted in succession.

Why Grow Arugula?

Arugula is easy to grow in garden beds, containers, or raised beds, and performs well in full sun to partial shade. It’s packed with nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin C, and folate, making it a healthy addition to any diet. This versatile green is also cold-tolerant and can even survive light frosts, extending your harvest window into early winter in milder climates.
