Fast, deeply lobed leaves ready in just 28 days make this one of arugula's speediest options. The compact growth habit fits easily into containers, raised beds, or crowded garden rows. Cut-and-regrow harvesting extends your supply from a single sowing, and the edible flowers add a bonus burst of flavor and visual interest once plants mature.
Uber Salad Arugula shines as a fresh salad green, where its peppery bite brings complexity to mixed lettuces and composed salads. The tender young leaves work beautifully in sandwiches, pasta dishes, and grain bowls. Once plants flower, both the leaves and the small white to pale purple blossoms are edible, offering a sharper peppery flavor for those who enjoy intense greens.

Sow seeds directly into prepared garden beds or containers. Arugula can be sown all season, with late summer and early fall sowings performing well in cool greenhouse and high tunnel conditions.
Harvest with a knife when leaves reach about 3-6 inches in size. Cut approximately one inch above the soil to allow clean regrowth from the basal plate. Depending on growing conditions and variety characteristics, you can cut again when plants reach desired size, typically 5-14 days after the previous harvest. After plants flower, leaves remain edible but develop a sharper taste. The flowers themselves are also edible and can be harvested and used.
