The leaves of 'Sylvetta' are dark green in color, and offer a crunchy texture with a nuttier taste than common arugula, as well as a deliciously tangy flavor. Raw young leaves are tender and perfect for salads, while cooked leaves can enhance sauces and soups.
This hardy variety is cold-resistant, making it ideal for sowing in autumn or spring. It prefers exposure to full sun or partial shade and requires regular watering. The leaves are harvested when they reach 10 to 15 cm in height, thus allowing several successive harvests.
Italian Arugula 'Sylvetta' is a great option for home gardeners looking to add a productive and tasty plant to their garden.
