\"wall<\/p>\n

An annual\/perennial growing to 0.6m (2ft). Leaves are eaten raw. They can be finely chopped and added sparingly to salads or used as a flavouring for cooked dishes. A piquant flavour, somewhat resembling rocket (Eruca sativa), but with a sharp aftertaste. Wall Rocket prefers dry soils and dislikes shade. Very resistant to heat, this plant could be used as a perennial substitute for Eruca vesicaria sativa, the annual rocket, in hot summer areas.<\/p>\n

Seed is best sown in situ as soon as it is ripe, though it can also be sown in situ in the spring. The seed usually germinates in the autumn.<\/p>\n

Perennial Wall Rocket<\/h2>\n

Diplotaxis tenuifolia – (L.)DC.<\/em><\/p>\n

A Perennial wall rocket with similar properties to Diplotaxis muralis mentioned above but it has the advantage of growing in semi-shaded conditions. Like Diplotaxis muralis the leaves are eaten raw and used in salads, they are very strongly flavoured of cress. The leaves have a hot flavour, very similar to rocket (Eruca sativa) but more strongly flavoured – they make an excellent addition to a mixed salad but are too strong to be used in quantity on their own. The plant is very productive, producing leaves from early spring until the autumn. Size: growing to 0.6m (2ft). Growth is fast and it has an edibility rating of 4.<\/p>\n
