Wild-type arugula with deeply cut, spicy leaves and good cold tolerance; thrives in the PNW as a cut-and-come-again green from early spring through fall.
Packs of ~150 seeds
When to plant: Direct sow March–May and again August–September.
How to plant: Direct seed outdoors; arugula does not benefit from transplanting.
Seed depth: ¼ inch
Spacing: Thin to 4–6 inches for full leaves, or closer for baby greens.
Notes: Arugula thrives in cool Pacific Northwest weather and grows quickly in spring and fall. Hot summer conditions cause bolting and stronger flavor; partial shade and frequent harvest help extend the season.

Understanding Pack Options
🌱 Planting Coverage Options
Planting coverage refers to the amount of seed needed to reliably plant a given area under typical Pacific Northwest conditions.
- 1 sq ft coverage = enough seed to plant approximately one square foot
- 5 sq ft coverage = enough seed to plant approximately five square feet
Coverage is based on recommended spacing, expected germination, and normal thinning, not exact seed counts and not final plant size.
For some crops (especially tomatoes, squash, and other large plants), seeds are intended to be started in pots and later transplanted. In those cases, coverage reflects the number of starts most gardeners need, rather than the space mature plants will occupy.
