Coriander Seeds – Coriandrum sativum Herbal Plant

Coriander is a cool-season annual herb grown for its aromatic leaves and seed production. Plants develop finely divided foliage and upright branching stems that later produce small white flowers and round seeds. This species is suitable for herb gardens, vegetable plots, raised beds, and containers. Coriander performs best in cool temperatures with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, providing both leafy harvests and mature seed production.
