Arugula – Bellezia is a tender, flavour-packed green with a lovely balance of peppery bite and delicate sweetness. This organic Italian variety grows quickly, stays wonderfully uniform, and produces deeply cut leaves that add instant gourmet flair to salads, sandwiches, and garden-fresh meals.

If you love the zesty kick of arugula but want something a little more refined, Bellezia is a delight. It’s also incredibly forgiving to grow — perfect for Canadian gardeners who want a reliable cool-season crop that keeps on giving. Harvest as baby greens or let the plants size up for fuller, more textured leaves. Either way, you’ll enjoy fresh, homegrown arugula in no time.

Growing Instructions
Sow outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or again in late summer for a cool-season fall crop. Plant in rich, well-drained soil and keep evenly moist for the best texture and flavour. Thin seedlings to allow good airflow and steady growth. For continuous harvests, sow every 1–2 weeks. Harvest young leaves for a mild bite or mature leaves for a stronger, peppery punch. Bellezia is slow to bolt, but providing some afternoon shade during hot spells helps prolong harvest.
