Coriander seeds — fresh cilantro leaf and warm spice

Coriander gives two flavours from one fast annual — the fresh leaf, known as cilantro, essential in Asian, Mexican and Middle-Eastern cooking, and the warm, citrusy seed used as a spice. The species is gathered under Coriandrum sativum within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Coriander is best sown little and often — the herb calendar shows when.

Leaf or seed

For leaf, choose slow-bolting varieties and pick young; for seed, let the plants flower and ripen in summer sun. A quick annual, coriander sits among our annual and aromatic herbs, and the flowers are a fine nectar source for beneficial insects.

Growing coriander from seed

Sow direct, as coriander resents root disturbance and bolts if checked. Keep it cool and moist for leaf, sowing every few weeks; for seed, let a sowing run on to flower and ripen. A sunny, sheltered spot suits it well.
