How to Grow
Rocket 'Wild Wasabi' can be sown outdoors from March to September in garden beds or containers, or grown indoors year-round in bright, cool conditions. It prefers moist soil and benefits from some light shade in hot weather to maintain tender, spicy leaves.
Sowing
Sow the wasabi rocket seeds thinly on damp, well-drained soil and cover them lightly to encourage quick germination. Starting seeds indoors or in pots during the sowing months helps maintain the steady moisture this plant requires.
Growing
Once seedlings reach a manageable size, thin or transplant them to allow 10–15cm spacing, giving each plant enough room to grow to around 30cm in height and spread within a 30cm pot. Regular watering is important, especially in containers, to keep the soil evenly moist.
Plant care
Maintain steady moisture by watering regularly without over-soaking, particularly in containers where drying out can stress the plants. Harvest young leaves frequently by cutting just above the base to encourage continuous growth and flavourful leaves. Sow new seeds every few weeks from March to September to ensure a constant supply, and allow some plants to flower for pollinators if the flavour becomes too strong.

Yes — this is a straightforward packet to give, and what makes it work as a gift is mostly timing. Sowing runs March to September, so a packet given inside that window can go straight in, and one given outside it keeps perfectly well until the season comes round.
There are approximately 500 seeds in the packet, so there is plenty to share. On effort it needs some love, which matters if you are giving it to someone new to growing. It suits pots, beds and windowsills, so it works for a small space as well as a garden.
