Propagation of Turkish Rocket: Seed - sow April in a cold frame. Germination is usually very quick and good. Prick out the seedlings into pots as soon as they are large enough to handle and plant them out in early summer. The seed can also be sown in situ in the spring, though the seedlings are rather prone to slug damage. Root cuttings 2 - 5cm in length succeed at any time during the growing season, though early spring as the plant comes into growth is best. If the top 7 - 10cm of the plant is removed to supply root cuttings and divisions, the roots remaining in the soil usually regrow very quickly.
Cultivation of the herb: A weed of cultivated and waste ground.
