Why Grow Rocket Speedy?

How to Grow Rocket Speedy in Singapore

Rocket Speedy prefers cool to mild growing conditions. In Singapore, growing during relatively cooler periods and providing afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress and premature flowering. For a continuous supply of young leaves, small quantities can be succession sown during suitable conditions.

1. Prepare the soil.
   Choose fertile, well-drained soil or quality potting mix. Containers and raised beds are suitable provided excess water can drain freely.
2. Sow the seed.
   Sow approximately 3–5 mm deep. Rocket can be direct sown into its final growing position or raised as seedlings for transplanting.
3. Thin the seedlings.
   For larger plants, thin seedlings to approximately 10–15 cm apart. Closer sowing can be used when growing specifically for young baby leaves.
4. Maintain moisture.
   Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and growth, but avoid waterlogging. Germination commonly takes approximately 5–10 days.
5. Manage heat.
   Provide good light while protecting plants from excessive afternoon heat. Regular moisture and partial shade during warmer conditions can help maintain tender leaves and delay bolting.
6. Harvest.
   Begin harvesting young leaves when they reach a useful size. Baby leaves can be picked individually, or plants can be cut above the growing point to encourage additional growth.

Flavour & Uses

Rocket Speedy produces tender green leaves with the characteristic fresh, peppery flavour of cultivated rocket. Young leaves generally have a milder flavour, while larger and more mature leaves develop a stronger, spicier taste.

Fresh leaves are ideal for salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers and gourmet salad mixes. Rocket can also be added to pizzas and cooked dishes shortly before serving or used as a fresh garnish.

Rocket Seeds for Singapore

Rocket Speedy is a useful choice for growers wanting a fast-growing salad green that can be harvested at the baby leaf stage or allowed to develop into larger plants. Its compact growth makes it suitable for pots, window boxes, raised beds and small urban gardens.

Singapore’s tropical climate is warmer than ideal for cultivated rocket, so careful management of heat and moisture is important. Containers can be particularly useful because they can be positioned to receive good morning light while avoiding the strongest afternoon sun.

This Singapore range is stocked locally, with seed dispatched within Singapore rather than individually shipped from Australia.
