Description

'Wildfire Wasabi' is wild rocket with the heat turned up: dark green, serrated leaves with a hot, mustardy kick that Piccolo bills as its spiciest rocket. The name refers to that horseradish-like bite rather than any link to true wasabi. Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a cut-and-come-again crop, so a short row or a trough gives handfuls of young leaves for weeks. Use them in mixed salads, on pizza after it leaves the oven, or blitzed into a punchy rocket pesto. If plants run to flower, the small yellow blooms are edible too.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow outdoors March to September, little and often, for a steady supply
  • Depth: 5mm; thin to 10 to 20cm apart
  • Germination: 5 to 10 days
  • Position: sun or light shade in moist, well-drained soil; light shade slows bolting in midsummer
  • Height: about 20cm
  • Harvest: young leaves from 30 to 40 days after sowing; late summer sowings crop into winter under cloches
  • Short-lived hardy perennial
  • Cover with fleece to keep flea beetles off

What you receive: a packet of about 2,000 seeds from Piccolo Seeds, with growing instructions on the back.

Pair it with our lemony Large de Belleville sorrel for a sharp salad mix, protect rows with fleece and growing equipment, or browse all our vegetable and herb seeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I sow wild rocket seeds?

Sow outdoors from March to September. Small sowings every three to four weeks give a constant supply of young leaves, and sowings in late summer can be kept cropping into winter under a cloche.

Is wild rocket perennial?

Yes, wild rocket is a short-lived hardy perennial, unlike salad rocket, which is an annual. Plants regrow after cutting and can come back for a second year, though young plants give the most tender leaves.

Does 'Wildfire Wasabi' really taste of wasabi?

It has a hot, horseradish-like heat that recalls wasabi, stronger than ordinary rocket, but it is not related to the wasabi plant. The leaves are hottest in dry, warm weather and milder when kept well watered.

What is your returns policy?

We always aim to make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order within 14 days of purchase (not including plants*), or any items are damaged, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly at hello@growtropicals.com, and we’ll take you through the process. 

Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.

*Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.

When will my order arrive and how much is shipping?

When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.

Shipping costs are based on your total order value and will be calculated at checkout, with free shipping automatically applied to all orders over £60. For a full breakdown of shipping prices see our Help Centre.

Additionally, to protect the health and quality of our live plants, orders containing plants are exclusively shipped Monday through Thursday. This careful scheduling prevents your plants from being stuck in a dark shipping depot over the weekend, ensuring they arrive at your door vibrant and healthy.
