When to Seed Cilantro

This annual herb should be direct seeded or transplanted into the garden in early spring or late summer. It is a cool season herb, so keep that in mind when planning your garden! 

Where to Plant Cilantro

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It will also readily reseed year after year, so keep this in mind when choosing a planting location! 

Growing Cilantro

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and four to six inches apart. Once mature, thin to eight to 12 inches apart. When established, this herb is low maintenance. 

Harvesting Cilantro

Cilantro leaves can be harvested using sharp shears and are best used fresh. Leave the growing tip intact so it regrows for multiple harvests. Once it bolts, leave the flowers to go to seed. Once dried, harvest the seed as coriander.
