Description
Wild Rocket ‘Dragon’s Fire’ (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a striking and flavour-packed variety of perennial rocket distinguished by its dark green, deeply cut leaves flushed with vivid red veins. It has the same bold, peppery bite as traditional wild rocket but with a slightly nuttier undertone and a touch of sweetness when young.
This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating heat and light frosts once established. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth and maintain tenderness. In summer, it produces small yellow flowers that attract bees and beneficial insects.
‘Dragon’s Fire’ adds vibrant colour and zest to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes, and makes a beautiful edible edging or container plant — combining ornamental appeal with excellent culinary value.
