Perennial arugula is a long-lived, peppery leafy green that produces tender, deeply lobed leaves year-round in mild climates and regrows vigorously after harvest. Unlike annual arugula, it forms a more substantial plant and tolerates repeated cutting, making it ideal for continuous harvesting in permaculture systems.
