Cilantro Coriander ORGANIC Long Standing Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds 2025

CILANTRO (Coriandrum sativum), also known as Chinese/Mexican/Indian Parsley, is best known these days as a fresh culinary herb essential to Mexican, Thai and other international recipes. The seeds are called Coriander and have been an essential spice since ancient Greece. The fragrance is fresh, fruity and clean! This wonderful heirloom variety is long-standing, which means you will not have to make as many successive sowings of this uniquely fresh and pungent slow-bolting heirloom strain to ensure continual availability. 50-55 days to first leaf harvest, 90-105 days to seed. Annual. 100 seeds.

GROWING TIPS: Generally a very short-lived plant, grown in early spring or fall when weather is cool. I grow mine in pots, so I can move out of the hot mid-day sun or into my windowed mud room in the winter time where it does nicely even when the temperature dips to freezing. During the growing season, it is probably most practical to just reseed it every 3-4 weeks. During the winter, it is a great candidate for growing indoors. I start harvesting as soon as the leaves appear mature. It is a cut and come again plant. So after I have had as much as I think I can reasonably harvest from it, I'll turn my attentions to the next pot and let the old pot go to seed. In this fashion you can rotate 3 pots and always have plenty of this essential herb for Mexican cooking!
