Coriander

Overview

Coriander

A versatile and fast-growing herb, Coriander is prized for its fresh, citrusy leaves and aromatic seeds, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide. Both the leaves (cilantro) and seeds can be harvested, giving you two crops from one plant.

Easy to grow and ideal for Irish conditions, coriander thrives in cooler weather and is perfect for beds, containers, or windowsills. With regular sowing, you can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the growing season.

Key Features

• Dual Purpose Crop: Harvest both leaves and seeds

• Fresh Flavour: Citrusy leaves perfect for salads and cooking

• Fast Growing: Quick to establish and ready to harvest

• Successional Sowing: Sow regularly for continuous supply

• Suitable for Containers: Ideal for small spaces and patios

Gardener’s Tip

Sow little and often in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position to keep a steady supply of fresh leaves. Coriander prefers cooler conditions, which helps prevent bolting.

Harvest leaves regularly to encourage new growth. If allowed to flower, you can collect seeds later in the season, adding even more value to your crop.
