One packet each of Rocket, Rocket Apollo, Skyrocket and Wild Rocket.

Rocket

A little known but very useful salad plant which can be used raw in salads or cooked lightly when it makes a delicious spinach substitute. Late summer sowings will carry on cropping into the winter if the plants are protected by cloches.

Apollo

A fast growing salad rocket with large, rounded, tender leaves, and an excellent peppery taste but no bitterness. Plants are slow to bolt but are best harvested as young leaves or as "cut and come again" salads. A rich source of vitamin C. Flavour guide: Peppery, best eaten when leaves are young. Easy to grow, can be ready to harvest in 25 days.

Skyrocket

Combines the speed of Salad Rocket and the flavour of Wild Rocket. An upright habit, so keeps the attractive serrated leaves clean and disease free. Pungency increases as the plants develop. Best cut as small leaves. Slow to bolt.

Wild Rocket

An alternative to the usual Rocket, with deep green, serrated foliage that makes an attractive garnish. Wild Rocket has a stronger flavour than standard Rocket, and the young leaves can be picked in succession and are perfect for salads. Easy to grow. Height 15-20cm (6-8in), prostrate habit.
