Sun Requirements ▾

Bright light is ideal for Surrey arugula. It thrives in bright indirect light and can tolerate some direct sun, particularly morning sunlight. When grown outdoors, it performs best in full sun to partial shade. Excessive heat or intense sun may cause the plant to bolt more quickly.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done when the top portion of the soil begins to dry out. Surrey arugula prefers evenly moist soil and does not tolerate drying out completely. Inconsistent watering can lead to tough or bitter leaves, while overwatering may cause root issues. During warm weather, watering frequency may increase.

Care Tips ▾

Surrey arugula prefers a bright environment with cooler temperatures and good airflow. It performs best in a rich, well-draining soil that retains moisture without becoming compacted. Regular harvesting encourages fresh leaf production and helps prevent the plant from becoming tough or overly bitter. Arugula grows best in stable conditions and benefits from consistent placement. Surrey arugula can be grown outdoors once the risk of frost has passed and performs best in cooler weather. It grows well in garden beds or containers with well-draining soil. Leaves can be harvested young for a milder flavour or allowed to mature for a stronger peppery taste. Harvesting outer leaves regularly encourages continued growth and delays bolting.
