Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) in Arizona
Description :
Cilantro, also known as coriander, is an annual herb with delicate, fern-like leaves and a citrusy, pungent flavor. Both its leaves (cilantro) and seeds (coriander) are used in cooking, particularly in Mexican, Indian, and Southeast Asian cuisines.
Planting Instructions :
- Directly sow cilantro seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer.
- Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Space plants 6-8 inches apart.
- Cilantro prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather, so succession planting can help ensure a continuous harvest.
