Does the arugula flower?

Question

Purchased potted arugula which was doing well. I transplanted to individual pots and got some leaves, but now it is flowering. What does this represent? Is it going down for the year?

Answer 1

The plants have bolted and gone to seed, generally triggered by warm weather.
