White rocket
Diplotaxis erucoides
White rocket is a fast-growing Mediterranean annual herb in the mustard family, producing small white flowers and edible peppery leaves similar to arugula. It prefers full sun to partial shade in well-drained, fertile soil and self-seeds readily, making it an easy addition to kitchen or cottage gardens. Harvest young leaves regularly to encourage continued growth and prevent premature bolting.
