Coriander Seeds

Coriander presents an effortless cultivation experience when grown from seeds, offering both its leaves and seeds for harvest. Its usage is widespread in various cuisines, notably in Mexican and Asian cooking. Simply plant seeds outdoors, either directly into the soil or in containers, starting from spring onward. These plants are compact, making them suitable for filling gaps in vegetable plots or even border gardens.

If cultivating primarily for leaves, consider coriander as a short-term crop and sow small amounts every month to ensure a continuous supply of leafy greens from mid-summer to early autumn. With each planting, expect multiple harvests before the plants transition to flowering, ultimately setting seeds and completing their annual life cycle.

In hot, dry weather, coriander tends to flower sooner, ceasing leaf production to focus on seed development. Nonetheless, this shouldn’t deter you from growing coriander—simply maintain a regular sowing schedule to ensure a steady stream of harvestable crops.
