Sweet Rocket can technically be grown as a perennial, biennial & annual depending on your preference. They are biennial in the sense they are so much bigger and more floriforous after growing through a winter. They do flower in their first year so can be grown as an annual if you rip them out after flowering. And then in our climate at least they have stuck around for a few years now, so can be left to be a perennial (and a self sown perennial at that).
