Arugula seeds are easy to grow, and they’re a staple of microgreen growers. The peppery taste gets less intense as it becomes larger. It’s best to harvest when the first true leaves form.

Days to maturity are around 14 days when harvested as the first true leaf forms, instead of harvesting at the cotyledon stage.

Arugula is a mucilaginous seed, so it will stick to a cover if using the weighted blackout method. Arugula seeds can also be planted using the domed method. The domed method is preferred because the arugula will grow taller. Arugula tends to stop growing taller when placed under lights.
