The variety was later planted in other regions of Europe, including England and Finland. Wild arugula grows freely across the Italian countryside, and many Italians fondly remember gathering the pungent leaves from wild plants growing in fields during the summer. Wild rocket botanically classified as Diplotaxis tenuifolia, is an ancient herb belonging to the Brassicaceae family.

The peppery green is one of three main species of arugula cultivated for human consumption and is mainly found growing wild in the Mediterranean in open fields, along roadsides, and as a weed in home gardens. Wild arugula is also known as Roquette, Wild Rocket, Rauke, and Sylvetta and is used as a vegetable and herb in various culinary applications. The variety is common in Europe and Western Asia, but outside of its native range, the greens are regarded as a specialty cultivar found through select growers at farmer's markets.

Rocket is the English name for Arugula, known elsewhere as Rocket, Rucola, Salad Rocket, and Italian Cress. Wild Rocket consists of small, jagged leaves, averaging 7 to 20 centimetres in length, that grow in bunches surrounding slender, upright stalks with bright yellow flowers. The leaves are elongated, dark green, narrow, and deeply lobed with lightly serrated edges.

The surface also bears prominent veining that connects into the central, pale green stem. Wild rucola has a crisp consistency with an intense, pungent flavour containing sweet and bitter notes of pepper, nuts, horseradish, and pine.
