When and how do I plant cilantro seeds?
Sow cilantro directly, about ¼ to ½ inch deep, in full sun to light afternoon shade after the last frost. It has a taproot and resents transplanting, so sow where it will grow. Seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days.
How do I keep cilantro from bolting so fast?
Cilantro bolts in heat. Give it a little afternoon shade, keep it watered, and sow a fresh batch every 2 to 3 weeks for a steady leaf supply.
What's the difference between cilantro and coriander?
They come from the same plant: the fresh leaves are cilantro, and the dried seeds it produces later are coriander.
How long until I can harvest cilantro?
Start snipping outer leaves once plants are 4 to 6 inches tall, usually within a few weeks. Leave the center to keep regrowing.
Is cilantro an annual or perennial?
Cilantro is a fast annual that completes its cycle in one season. Sow it in succession every few weeks for a continuous harvest.
Can I grow cilantro in a pot or indoors?
Yes. Cilantro does well in a deep container or on a sunny windowsill. Give it good light and steady moisture, and avoid crowding its taproot.
