1000 Cilantro Seeds for Planting - Heirloom Coriander - Non-GMO Culinary Herb

Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is a fast-growing annual herb prized for its bright, citrusy leaves and its aromatic seeds, which are known as coriander. This heirloom, non-GMO variety is a favorite in kitchen gardens, raised beds, and containers, offering a steady supply of fresh foliage for salsas, curries, salads, and garnishes. Both the leaves and the seeds are edible, making it a versatile dual-purpose herb for the home grower.

Cilantro grows quickly from seed and can be sown in succession for a continuous harvest through the cooler parts of the season. Its lacy white flowers attract beneficial insects and pollinators when plants are allowed to bolt, adding value to herb and pollinator gardens alike.

Planting & Care

Sow cilantro seeds directly in the garden, as plants resent transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Cilantro prefers cooler weather and tends to bolt quickly in high heat, so succession sowings every few weeks help maintain a steady harvest. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are established.

Water regularly to keep foliage tender, and harvest outer leaves as needed. Pinch off flower stalks if you want to prolong leaf production, or allow plants to flower and set seed for coriander. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to help prevent root problems.
