(Bunias orientalis)
Turkish Rocket is a hardy perennial from Eurasia that we grow for its edible flower shoots and the pollinators that it draws. A member of the Brassica family, it tastes like broccoli and can be used in similar ways.
It is very drought tolerant and will perform well in damaged areas, making it a good candidate for restoration plantings on poor soil. Plants readily grow from root fragments and it is able to self-seed, so take care it does not spread too much.
Hardiness: Zone 4-8
Soil: Grows well in poor soils
Light: Prefers full sun but will grow in part shade.
Options:
Bare root plant
Seed Packet (~25 seeds)
