Astro Arugula Seeds by West Coast Seeds (Eruca sativa)

Astro Arugula (Eruca sativa) is a fast-growing leafy green known for its smooth leaves and mild peppery flavor. This variety produces upright rosettes of elongated green leaves with a softer, less deeply lobed shape compared to traditional wild arugula types. The tender foliage provides a balanced peppery taste that is widely appreciated in fresh salads and culinary dishes.

In vegetable gardens, Astro arugula grows quickly and is well suited for repeated harvesting throughout the growing season. Plants produce abundant leafy growth that can be harvested young as baby greens or allowed to mature for fuller leaves with stronger flavor. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for garden beds, raised planters, and container gardens.

Astro is a cultivated arugula variety selected for uniform growth, smooth leaves, and consistent flavor. This listing is for seed packets only and does not include live plants.

Sun Requirements ▾

Astro arugula grows best in full sun to partial sun. Adequate sunlight promotes healthy leaf development, while partial shade may help reduce heat stress during warmer conditions. Insufficient light may slow growth and reduce leaf production.

Watering Instructions ▾

Maintain evenly moist soil to support rapid leaf production. Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry, ensuring consistent moisture without waterlogging the roots. During warmer periods, slightly increased watering may be required to prevent stress and bitterness.

Care Tips ▾

Astro arugula grows best in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Cool to moderate temperatures encourage tender leaf production and help prevent early flowering. Moderate humidity and loose soil structure support strong root development and steady leafy growth. Sow Astro arugula seeds directly outdoors in early spring once soil temperatures reach approximately 10–18°C. Seeds typically germinate within 4–7 days. Leaves can be harvested as baby greens in about 21 days or allowed to mature for fuller leaves within 30–40 days. Regular harvesting helps encourage continued leaf production.
