Rocket Germination Time and Temperature: Keep the plugs moist and in a cool place (about 10-20°C) until germination occurs, usually within 5-7 days. If it’s warmer, the seeds may germinate more quickly but may also bolt.

The time to sow rocket can range between early spring and late summer, typically from March to September, depending on your climate. Please choose the correct variety for the season as these can differ. Seedlings should start to appear after 4-6 days.
