Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep and 1-2 inches apart in well-drained soil. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart to allow adequate airflow. For a continuous supply, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCilantro prefers cooler weather and will bolt (produce flowers) in high heat. Provide afternoon shade in hot climates and water regularly to prevent drying out. Harvest leaves by snipping outer stems, starting when plants are 6 inches tall. To collect coriander seeds, allow flowers to mature and turn brown, then harvest seed heads. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can reduce flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e125 Leisure Cilantro seeds (Coriandrum sativum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835982446902,"sku":"FOLIA2-1496","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6522510380_7dy5.jpg?v=1793096824","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/leisure-cilantro-seeds-125-seeds-coriandrum-sativum-flavorful-herb-for-cooking-garnish","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
