Arugula Sacramento

Sacramento is a hardy annual plant from the cabbage family, known for its mustard-nutty flavor and slight bitterness. Medium-sized leaves have a deeply lobed, smooth surface in a lyrate shape and a rich green color, making them attractive for salads, appetizers, and Italian dishes.

This plant grows quickly: from sowing to the first harvest of greens requires only 20-25 days. Sacramento is easy to grow both in open ground and at home – on a windowsill, in containers, or in balcony boxes. Sowing in pots can start from March, and in balcony boxes from April; if necessary, the plant is regularly transplanted as greens are harvested.

Sacramento requires moderate watering and good lighting, but does not need special fertilizers. Green yield reaches 1.4 kg/m², and the mass of one rosette ranges from 16 to 20 grams. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to quickly get fresh and aromatic greens without extra hassle.
