Description
Cilantro
Coriandrum sativum
Annual
Cilantro is an annual herb valued for its fresh, citrusy flavor. Cilantro is also rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious addition to any diet. It thrives in cool weather and may bolt quickly in hot temperatures, so it is best grown in spring and fall or in partial shade during the summer months.
Plant Spacing: 6-8 inches
Sun Preference: Partial shade to full sun
Companion Plants: Cilantro pairs well with other herbs such as parsley, basil, and dill. Its delicate foliage attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies and parasitic wasps, which prey on garden pests like aphids and caterpillars.
Common Pests: Cilantro is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids or spider mites.
Growing Information: Provide consistent moisture and harvest leaves regularly to prevent bolting. For a consistent supply of cilantro throughout the year, sow cilantro seeds directly in the garden every four weeks.
