How to grow Chinese cabbage 'Green rocket'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Green rocket likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Green rocket is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Green rocket needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Growing Green rocket from seed

Aim to sow 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.94 inches (15.24 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Green rocket about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Green rocket

Green rocket is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
