Know before you buy
Yes, but you will need to plan accordingly. If you harvest the leaves regularly, the plant will focus on foliage production; if you want to harvest coriander seeds, you must allow the plant to bolt and flower once the weather warms.
Cilantro is a cool-season herb that thrives in the spring. Plant your seeds in full sun as soon as the soil can be worked, but keep in mind that the plants will naturally go to seed quickly once temperatures rise.
The leaves provide the fresh, citrusy flavor commonly known as cilantro, while the dried seeds, known as coriander, offer a warm, nutty, and slightly sweet spice profile.
Absolutely. Cilantro has a relatively shallow root system, making it an excellent candidate for pots or window boxes as long as they receive full sun and have proper drainage.
These packs feature original, commissioned illustrations by artist Cassandra Quackenbush. They are designed as collectible pieces of art that celebrate the intersection of horticulture and creative expression.
