Calypso cilantro is an annual herb grown for its abundant leafy growth and extended harvest period. This variety is specifically developed for slow bolting, allowing plants to remain in the leaf-producing stage longer than standard cilantro. It produces lush, aromatic green foliage and performs well in cool to mild climates with consistent sunlight. Calypso cilantro adapts well to garden beds, raised beds, and containers, establishing quickly and providing multiple harvests during the growing season. It is widely recognized for maintaining leaf quality and flavor for a longer duration before flowering.
