Description
Coriander or Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) stands out for its aromatic leaves and seeds, adding both flavour in dishes and aesthetic appeal in gardens. An annual herb, it displays delicate, umbrella-like clusters of flowers whenever the weather warms. Whether you love its tangy taste in cuisine or its vivid green in landscapes, Coriander is a delightful inclusion.
Best suited for in-ground planting, pots, or vege/herb gardens, Coriander requires well-drained soil, and if sown in sandy terrains, a quality soil conditioner is recommended. Enjoying full sun but also accommodating partial shade, its foliage flourishes best when fed with foliage fertiliser. Avoid potassium-rich varieties, which may lead the plant to flower prematurely. Start your harvest around 45 days post-planting, and remember, consistent picking of leaves can help defer the onset of flowering.
