Description :
Cilantro is an annual herb with bright green leaves and a pungent flavor often used in Mexican, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The seeds, known as coriander, are also used as a spice.
Planting Instructions :
- Cilantro prefers cool weather and well-drained soil.
- Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall.
- Space plants 6-8 inches apart.
- Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Cilantro bolts (goes to seed) quickly in hot weather, so regular harvesting can help prolong leaf production.
- Planting successive crops every few weeks ensures a continuous harvest.
