How to Germinate Arugula Slow Bolt

How to Germinate Arugula Slow Bolt (Eruca sativa)

  • Sow arugula seeds directly into the garden bed or containers, starting in early spring or fall.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Space seeds about 1 inch apart in rows, leaving 12-18 inches between rows for proper growth.
  • Water gently to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Germination occurs quickly, usually within 5-7 days, under cool temperatures (45-65°F or 7-18°C).
  • Thin seedlings to about 3-4 inches apart once they have a few sets of true leaves.

Additional Tips

  • Arugula thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, fertile soil.
  • Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, promoting tender leaves and reducing bitterness.
  • Harvest leaves when they are young and tender, around 2-3 inches long, for the best flavor.
  • Succession sow every 2-3 weeks to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
  • Protect arugula from excessive heat to prevent bolting; use shade cloth if necessary.
