Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Coriander and cilantro are names commonly used for different harvested parts of the same plant.

  • Coriander belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes parsley, carrot, celery, and dill.
  • After flowering, the plant develops dry fruits commonly harvested and used as coriander spice.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow during cool to mild weather. In warmer regions, grow coriander during the cooler growing season to reduce premature flowering.

Sowing: Direct sow seeds into prepared garden soil or containers. Choose a location with good drainage and avoid disturbing seedlings after emergence.

Depth: Sow approximately one-quarter to one-half inch deep and cover lightly with fine soil.

Spacing: Thin seedlings to approximately three to six inches apart when growing primarily for fresh leaves.

Sunlight: Provide full sun during mild weather. Partial afternoon shade can be beneficial in hot climates.

Soil: Use loose, fertile, well-drained soil containing organic matter. Avoid areas where water collects.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture while seeds germinate and plants establish. Water when the soil surface begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds generally germinate within approximately one to three weeks when provided with suitable moisture and growing conditions.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is preferred because coriander can be sensitive to root disturbance.

Fertilizing: Grow in fertile soil and use a balanced fertilizer only when needed. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage rapid leafy growth and premature flowering.

Care: Thin crowded seedlings, remove weeds, and maintain even moisture. Regular harvesting of young leaves encourages continued use of the plant.

Flowering/Maturity: Harvest young leaves before flowering for fresh cilantro. For coriander seeds, allow plants to flower and develop dry seed heads. Harvest when the seed heads become dry and brownish.
