Cilantro coriander seeds produce cool-season annual plants with a soft, leafy growth habit and slender stems. These plants develop aromatic foliage and later produce seeds under suitable conditions. Cilantro performs best in mild to warm climates and prefers full sun to partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture. Suitable for garden beds, herb gardens, and containers, the plants establish quickly and can be harvested throughout the growing period.
