    It's difficult because people have differing tastes for all sorts of fruit and veg. I only grow wild rocket. I like a stronger flavour and it suits me. 
    It's also a very tough plant - completely hardy in my climate, even in the winter we've just had, copes with shadier sites too. If you leave some to flower, it's also great for pollinating insects.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thank you. I bought some from Chiltern Seeds this year called Salad Rocket and don't like it at all. Will give the wild one a try.

    I don't think I've grown the more conventional ones, but I'm assuming they might be  milder. Don't know if that's true though  :)

    I've tried various ones but much prefer those descibed as Wild Rocket - as per @Fairygirl , the stronger the flavour the better - for me anyway :)

    Wild rocket all the way for me, but I like the strong taste - if you prefer a milder salad leaf then the salad rocket is the one for you.

    I've grown Serrata this year and it's very delicious.
