50% germination

Since I germinate seeds in seed modules, I can see that this variety is seeds has a less than 50% germination rate, have tried germination indoors & outdoors, both results the same. It is also a very very slow growing plant. However, the resulting rocket leaves are really very very delicious. But one has to wait over 2 months to be able to harvest.
