Cilantro doesn't require many nutrients, we usually mix a bit of compost/manure into the soil and call it good...no fertilizer normally is needed.

Once your bed is prepared, make a 1/4" depression into the soil and plant your seeds 1" apart.

After your seeds are in, cover them with a layer of fine soil, gently pat your soil and you're ready to water!

Harvest the seeds by clipping the brown, round seed heads; place upside down in a paper bag. In a few days, the round husks will dry and split in two, dropping the edible seed inside. Don’t delay seed harvest, or the weak stems will fall over.

Freshly chopped cilantro is an excellent source of potassium, is low in calories, and is good for the digestive system. It is best to use fresh cilantro in cooking since it does not dry very well. Add chopped leaves at the last minute for maximum flavor. Cilantro blends well with mint, cumin, chives, garlic, and marjoram.

Companion Plants: Spinach, Onion, Beans, Peas, Lettuce, Potato etc.

Can attract: tachinid fly aphids
Repells: spider mites, ant variety and potato beetles

Store by freezing the leaves in cubes of water or oil; you can dry them, too, but they lose a lot of their flavor tif dried, which explains why growing your own is far better than buying it from the spice rack.

Store coriander seeds in a cool cabinet or the refrigerator. Use them in curry, poultry, relishes (chicken, steak, fish etc., salsa and cucumber or zucchini pickles!


*These are heirloom plant seeds. Be sure to keep some seeds for next sowing.

How big do these get? Do you think they could be grown in a window?

Cilantro can absolutely be grown in window sill container garden. The trick to growing hardy cilantro is to keep clipping the leaves. If you don't continuously clip the leaves (even if you're not using it), the plant will grow tall and will want to bolt which means; the main stem will get woody, it will then either stop producing leaves or produce flowers and go to seed. That's good if you want to collect seeds for future planting.

If you're going to collect seeds for futur planting, be sure to allow the plant to flower and the seeds need to dry on the plant.

I recommend not allowing the plant to get taller than 12 inches to that it will keep producing tender leaves.

Cilantro can be dried but, I recommend freezing it. Simply spread the leaves on a cookie sheet and freeze before placing it in a freezer bag or container.

Cilantro doesn't take up much room either. It tends to grow straight upward. If you have other vegetable plants as like tomatoes or peppers, toss in 3 - 5 seeds and let it grow. Cilantro is a good pest repellent as like basil is. Cheers ~LosAngeles
