How to Grow and Care for Wall-rockets

Wall-rockets

Wall-rockets thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them straightforward to care for beginners. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging as it can lead to root rot. Another key point is ensuring good air circulation around the plant to prevent mildew. Monitoring for aphids is important, as they can be a common pest for wall-rockets.

Perennial wall-rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a plant species that is a member of the Brassicaceae family. Perennial wall-rocket is named for the hardiness of this plant, as well as the plant's tendency to grow out of walls and cliff faces. Perennial wall-rocket foliage is aromatic when crushed.

Annual wallrocket

Annual wallrocket (Diplotaxis muralis) is indigenous to Africa and Eurasia. It most likely immigrated to other parts of the planet by being a stowaway in ships’ ballasts. The leaves are delicious and can be used as a salad green.

Vineyard wall-rocket

Vineyard wall-rocket (Diplotaxis viminea) is a widespread herb that is classed as a minor weed in several countries including Germany and Romania. A 2016 risk assessment concluded that the potential invasive risk for naturalization in the United States was low, but should be monitored. Its rapid spread and small yellow flowers preclude ornamental growth.
