Notes
'Sempre Bianca' arugula (Eruca vesicaria 'Sempre Bianca') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It forms a clumping plant up to 24 inches tall, and bees and butterflies visit its blooms.
Pairs well with Breen lettuce, Spinach, and Peione parsley.
