Organic Slow Bolt arugula seeds grow a deliciously tender, yet surprisingly garden-hardy vegetable green. Popularly grown for its 2-3" long "baby" arugula leaves, organic Slow Bolt arugula is harvestable as early as 6 weeks after sowing or can be left in the garden as a quickly spreading green similar to dandelion. While most arugula cultivars will threaten to bolt to seed with a touch of summer heat, organic Slow Bolt arugula is more tolerant to warmer regions, keeping arugula plants greener and tastier for longer.
