Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sow where it grows

Direct sow 1/4–1/2" deep from spring to late summer.

Sow thick for leaves

No thinning needed for leaf; thin to 2–4" for seed.

Resow every 2–3 weeks

Plants bolt in summer heat, so keep new rows coming.

Use every stage

Leaves before flowering, green seed, then dry seed at about 3 months.

Growing Information

Days to germination

Seedlings usually appear in 7–10 days with the soil near 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Direct sowing

Cilantro dislikes transplanting, so sow it in place any time from spring to late summer. Cover the seed with 1/4–1/2" of soil, setting seeds about that far apart, with 3" or more between rows. A thick stand is fine for leaf harvests, so skip thinning; if you want coriander seed, leave 2–4" between plants. Repeat sowings every couple of weeks to keep leaves coming.

Light

Full sun. In most places, plants are likely to bolt in midsummer heat.

Plant height

12–18".

Plant spacing

Close, about 1/4–1/2", when grown for leaves.

Hardiness

Grown as an annual.

Harvest

You can use the plant at every stage. Cut leaves from established plants until flowering starts. Unripe green seed has a bright, sweet taste and can be gathered any time before it browns. Dry coriander seed takes about three months from sowing; collect it after it has dried on the stalk.

Soil

Rich soil that drains well.

Scientific name

Coriandrum sativum

Also known as
