Rocket is a hardy, late-spring flowering plant genus that thrives in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. It favors sun to part shade and regular watering. Key challenges include susceptibility to aphid pests and diseases like powdery mildew, particularly in hot, dry conditions. Seasonally, rocket benefits from regular deadheading in summer to encourage further blooming. Come autumn, allow some seed heads to form supporting natural propagation, alongside providing winter mulch for frost protection. Despite challenges, rocket, with its evening-fragrant flowers, can be a rewarding addition to gardens.
