Description
Cilantro ‘Santo’ is a fresh, leafy herb with a bright taste. Its leaves are used as cilantro. Its dry seeds are called coriander.
‘Santo’ is slow to bolt, so it can give you a longer leaf harvest in cool weather. Grow it in beds, raised beds, or pots.
Light and Planting
Grow cilantro in full sun to light shade. It likes cool weather. Sow it in spring or fall. For another easy kitchen herb, see our Prospera Italian Large Leaf basil.
Water and Soil
Use loose soil that drains well. Keep it moist, but not wet. A pot can help you keep the roots cool and easy to reach. For a small herb planting, see our 7 young starter herb plugs.
Harvest
Cut the outer leaves while they are young. Pick often for fresh growth. If the plant blooms, let some seed dry on the stem. You can save that seed as coriander.
Simple Care
Heat can make cilantro bloom fast. Give it light shade when days turn hot. Sow new seed every few weeks for a steady crop. For a larger herb bed, see our 49 young starter herb plugs.
