Slow bolt cilantro is a warm-season herb grown for its aromatic leaves and improved resistance to early flowering. This variety is specifically selected to delay bolting, allowing a longer period of leaf production compared to standard cilantro. It develops soft, bright green foliage on upright stems and performs well in cool to mild conditions with consistent sunlight. Suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and containers, slow bolt cilantro establishes quickly and produces leaves over an extended growing period.
