About Cilantro Plants
Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is a beloved herb with a long history and versatile uses. Originally from the Mediterranean, it has been enjoyed for thousands of years and is now a staple in Asian and Mexican cooking. Our organically grown cilantro plants feature delicate, lacy leaves on slender stems, perfect for enhancing dishes like salsas, sauces, and curries.
Harvest cilantro leaves before they flower for the freshest taste, or wait for the seeds to turn gray-brown to gather coriander, a spice used in pickling and cooking. In the garden, cilantro adds beauty with its lush foliage and attracts helpful pollinators like bees and butterflies. Whether in an herb garden or a decorative container, cilantro brings both flavor and charm to your outdoor space.
Adding Cilantro to Your Garden
Cilantro thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden environments. Plant this herb in well-drained, loamy soil, ensuring it receives consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Regular watering helps maintain optimal moisture levels, promoting healthy leaf development and robust growth.
For gardeners in cooler zones, cilantro can be brought indoors during the winter months to extend its growing season. Simply transplant the herb into pots and place them in a sunny window, providing adequate warmth and light to sustain growth during the colder months.
Harvest cilantro leaves as needed for culinary endeavors, storing them in the refrigerator to preserve their freshness. Alternatively, freeze the leaves for future use, ensuring you always have a supply of this flavorful herb on hand.
Our USDA-Certified Organic herbs are sustainably nurtured, ensuring superior quality and taste for your herb garden.
