Astro Arugula is a fantastic spring addition to any garden, especially for beginning gardeners. Native to the Mediterranean, this variety is less wild than others, offering a milder flavor and rounded leaves that are perfect for salads and sandwiches. The edible flowers can add a beautiful touch to salads, making it as visually appealing as it is tasty.

This arugula is more heat tolerant, meaning it’s slower to bolt, and it matures faster, giving you a longer window to harvest before the heat of summer sets in. Fresh from the garden, its flavor is twice as delicious compared to store-bought greens, making it a must-grow crop for spring.
