Eruca vesicaria prefers cool, fertile soil and full sun to part shade. Growing arugula in the cooler spring and fall months is recommended because it tends to bolt and flower in hot weather, changing the flavor and stopping leaf development. As a result, in hot climates, some shade can help to prevent bolting. It can also withstand muddy, mucky soil and light frosts to some extent.
