Note: High Mowing ensures all seed lots of this variety are independently tested for the diseases black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris) and black leg (Leptosphaeria maculans, anamorph Phoma lingam). Only seed lots that test negative for black rot and black leg are released for sale.

Beautiful, fine leaves are incised with rounded oak-leaf shape.

A wonderful flavor that is more nutty than spicy sets Esmee apart from other arugulas. Deeply lobed leaves are upright, lofty and the darkest green of all our arugulas. Good for either bunching or bagging. Quick growing and very cold tolerant. From our partners at DeBolster Seeds. 18,000 seeds/oz.
