- Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 45°F–75°F (7°C–24°C).
Planting Details
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 1–2 inches apart, with rows 8–12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Enrich the soil with compost to enhance growth.
- Light: Requires full sun for best results but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
Care Instructions
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, ensuring good water drainage. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
- Temperature: Runaway Salad Arugula prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt (flower prematurely) in extreme heat.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost at planting time and once the plants are a few inches tall.

Storage
