Fothergill's Coriander Cilantro for Leaf Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Coriandrum sativum, a globally celebrated and essential culinary staple.
• Plant Class: Hardy Annual, establishing quickly from spring sowings to provide a fast, heavy return of lush, cuttable foliage.
• Bred for Leaf Production: Unlike standard varieties that quickly rush into flower during summer spells, 'Cilantro' is selected to stay low and leafy, maximizing your fresh green harvest.
• Abundant Gourmet Leaves: Produces large, deeply serrated, bright green leaves packed with essential oils, delivering a powerful, refreshing citrus-herb punch.
• Global Culinary Essential: The absolute go-to fresh herb for authentic Mexican salsas and guacamoles, aromatic Thai curries, vibrant Mediterranean marinades, and fresh summer salads.
• Flexible Growing: Its neat, compact habit makes it a perfect fit for kitchen garden rows, dedicated raised herb beds, or conveniently placed pots on the patio and kitchen windowsill.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow seeds thinly directly into finely raked, well-drained soil or final patio containers. Coriander possesses a sensitive taproot and resents transplanting, so direct sowing is highly recommended. Position in full sun or light afternoon shade.
• Successional Sowing: To secure a seamless, non-stop supply of fresh leaves all summer long, sow a fresh row or pot "little and often" every three to four weeks.
• Moisture & Harvesting: Keep the soil or compost consistently moist; allowing the roots to dry out completely can trigger early flowering. Snip the lush outer leaves regularly to encourage the plant to continuously throw up tender new growth.
