MADE IN USA 
SLOW BOLT ARUGULA (HEAT RESISTANT)
25-30 seeds

Heat resistant, Non-GMO Arugula Slow Bolt Seeds (Eruca sativa), can be used in a variety of ways, mixed in a salad with other greens. Use in sandwiches, toss into soups or pastas, even in a roasted vegetable dish. Arugula thrives in cooler temperatures, BUT THIS VARIETY WILL CONTINUE TO GROW WELL INTO THE SUMMER WITHOUT GOING TO SEED. Arugula also grows well in containers using a commercial potting soil rather than a gardening mix soil. This leafy green has a light spicy flavor that will excite all of your dishes! GO FOR IT!

Sowing and Growing

Arugula has a quick germination. In warmer climates, such as zones 8 and above, you should plant in the fall rather than in the spring. You can start Arugula in your garden about 1 to 2 weeks before your last frost date. If you sow a row or section every 2 to 3 weeks you can get a continuous crop. These seeds can be dispersed evenly to create a bed of tender leaves.


Harvesting

Arugula is a cut-and-come again plant, meaning you can harvest as leaves mature. Grow in cool weather and keep the soil moist for the best flavored greens. Stop harvesting the leaves once the plant flowers or they will become bitter-tasting. If arugula becomes wiltly after harvest, submerge in lukewarm water for 60 seconds, then submerge in ice water. Arugula will crispen after that.

ALL SEEDS COME WITH BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS. 

YOU CAN GROW THESE SEEDS IN CONTAINERS, WINDOWSILL, ON YOUR BALCONY, PORCH, DECK, OR MAKE SMALL BOXES IN THE GROUND IN THE FIELD OR IN YOUR YARD THAT YOU HAVE DESIGNATED FOR YOUR GARDEN.

a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 in the summer of 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% and above range...these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!

At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. 

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated  and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.  

WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don't stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.

Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
