Coriandrum sativum

Improved variety thats slower to bolt in warm weather for a longer harvest time. Use both seeds and leaves to add distinctive flavor to everything from soups and stews to baked goods. Essential for Asian and Tex-Mex dishes.

Gardener’s Notes:Grows best in cool weather. Cilantro grows best planted directly in the garden. Sow seeds beginning in early spring in full sun or part shade in light, well-drained soil. Thin small seedlings. Sow every 2-3 weeks until mid-summer for continuous supply. Harvest as needed, before flowers appear. To save seeds, allow plants to flower and go to seed. Harvest when seeds turn yellow-beige.
