Cilantro (Coriander) (Coriandrum sativum) - If you’re looking for a herb that adds depth of flavour and a touch of spice, Coriander is a popular choice among chefs. Widely used in Asian, North African, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, this easy-to-grow herb can elevate any dish. It is also featured prominently in Mexican cuisine as a garnish or to add fresh flavour to fish and meats, making it a versatile addition to your garden and kitchen. While often used interchangeably, “Cilantro” refers to the leafy green micro-greens of the plant, while “Coriander” refers to the edible seeds. Both parts of the plant can be used to enhance flavour and spice in cooking.

Planting Instructions: Direct sow seeds outdoors in spring once soil can be worked, planting 0.5–1 cm deep. Thin seedlings to 15–20 cm apart in rows spaced 30 cm apart. Keep soil evenly moist for best germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days.
Cilantro can also be grown in deep pots or containers using a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Successive sowing every few weeks is recommended for a continuous harvest.
