This leafy green Rocket produces tender leaves perfect for adding to a salad! Grow these hydroponically in your indoor grow kits to save time, water, and stress!
Rocket prefers to be planted quite deep in the soil, this helps it grow strong stems that are able to hold up the full weight of the leaf. Rocket can be eaten at all stages of growth however, if you want a more peppery flavour wait until the leaves have matured (roughly 5 weeks)!
Harvesting: Once your plants are around 10cm tall you can begin harvesting! Rocket will keep growing for months so pick the outer leaves as needed.
Rocket is a highly versatile green so don’t hesitate to add it to whatever you're making or try adding it to a salad or pizza for a fresh peppery kick!
Ready to plant? Start your seeds in our Grodan rockwool cubes, feed them with our hydroponic nutrients for herbs and leafy greens, or grab a re-plant pack with both at a better price.

Good I grow these for my quail
Within 2 days of planting, the rocket seeds had sprouted. It's been nearly 2 weeks and they're growing well and look healthy!
Perfect
Good growth and flavour!
Rocket is growing very well and has a lovely green colour
I may have missed the memo on only planting 2 seeds into each grow cup and it may have ended up being 4 or 5 seeds per cup... nonetheless, the success of my first crop has been outstanding! Within 3 weeks I was able to to start harvesting. I still have a forest of rocket to contend with several weeks after I began harvesting, despite my best efforts to eat through it. BEWARE!! You will need to harvest double the required amount due to make up for the 'snacking' that occurs before it reaches its destined dish. Perhaps my overstep on the quantity of seeds has worked in my favour after all. Highly recommend!
Growing Rapidly
2 days in these little ones are 2cm high I’m amazed
Hey Sam, Let that rocket rock on, enjoy! Thanks, Charlotte
