Wild Rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) Flowers


Common Names: Wild Rocket, Perennial Wall-Rocket
Species: Diplotaxis tenuifolia
Family: BRASSICACEAE

A pair of yellow flowers belonging to Wild Rocket, Diplotaxis tenuifolia. The leaves have a peppery taste and are a little stronger than Common Rocket or Arugula (Eruuca sativa), but are good to mix into salads to add a little extra zing.
