• Continuous Supply with Successive Sowings:
  • Make sowings every two to three weeks to ensure a consistent harvest of fresh cilantro leaves.
• Sowing Instructions:
  • Outdoors: Sow thinly, September-October, directly into finely prepared, warm, well-drained soil that has already been watered, 0.5cm (¼”) deep. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8″) apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous supply, make sowings at two to three-week intervals.
  • Indoors: Grow all year round, sow thinly 0.5cm (¼”) deep in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position, ideally 15-20°C (60-68°F). Plants can be grown on a light windowsill.
• Harvesting and Use:
  • Harvest: Indoor crops all year round, outdoor crops from October. Pick a few leaves as required from each plant so that they will regrow quickly. For the best flavor, use fresh. They may be dried or frozen, but flavor will be diminished.
  • Culinary Uses: Can be used in curries, chutneys, or salads. When cooking, add the bruised leaves at the last minute to retain maximum flavor. The mature flowers will produce coriander seeds that can be dried and ground for flavoring cooked dishes.
