Crossword Genius

Shoot up salad plant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rocket

This clue is a double definition.

'shoot up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'salad plant' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for rocket that I've seen before include "Self-propelled firework or missile" , "that should take off?" , "Shoot upwards" , "Projectile, missile" , "Firework - sharp lecture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
