Description

Variety details

  • Certification: Certified organic
  • Growth habit: Upright annual

Cilantro generally performs best in cool conditions and can bolt as days become warmer or longer. Use successive small sowings when a longer leaf harvest is desired. Keep the seedbed from drying during germination without leaving it saturated. Review the current packet for seed count, exact spacing, maturity, and any lot-specific instructions.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Supplement the soil with plenty of organic matter to help with water retention, and mulch the roots to keep them from drying out. In hot summer climates, grow in the shade of other plants to postpone bolting.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds directly when soil reaches 55°F, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.

Harvesting & Storage: Begin harvesting leaves when the plant is about 6" tall. Cilantro leaves are best used fresh because the flavor disappears when dried. Allow a few plants to go to seed; harvest the seeds when they turn brown by shaking the seed heads over a paper bag. Allow them to dry before storing them in an airtight container.
