Bellezia adds field tolerance to Downy Mildew to the preferred type Grazia, which helps solve the most common problem for wild arugula. Nice thick leaves with an unstoppable dark green color!

Wild arugula has better shelf life and a more refined appearance that “cultivated,” round-leafed arugula. It is smaller and slower growing with a fine, intense flavor. Enza/Vitalis breeds the premium varieties, and Grazia is best for our humid climate. It is dark green. Because it is slow-bolting, Grazia is nice for potted plant sales.

Sparkle RZ is a unique round leaved cultivated arugula with unique visual appeal and thick leaves for good shelf life. Usable as baby leaf or as whole baby plant. Tastes fantastic and has very thick wavy leaves. It is great on sandwiches. Strong against 2 strains of Peronospora.

Athena wild arugula combines excellent uniformity, a beautiful dark green color and nicely shaped, incised leaves with good downy mildew resistance. The habit is erect and it has a tantalizing, spicy flavor.

Uber looks like wild arugula but has larger seed and grows faster. The seed count is around 275,000 seeds/lb so is much easier to seed than is true wild arugula. It has a delicious, not-too-strong, flavor. Leaves are thick, medium-dark green and the plant habit is erect.
