(Coriandrum sativum)
Cilantro - Coriander (A.K.A. Chinese Parsley, Dhania)
Days to Maturity: 45–60 Days
Once known as “Chinese Parsley,” cilantro was brought to North America by colonists in the 1600s and has long been treasured for both culinary and medicinal uses. This cool-season annual reaches 18–24″ tall with a 10–14″ spread, starting with a dense rosette of bright green leaves that later sends up feathery stalks and pale blossoms, eventually forming fragrant coriander seeds. The leaves lend a tart, citrusy brightness to salsas, chutneys, and guacamole, while the seeds bring warm, sweet depth to pickles, spice blends, and baked goods. Best used fresh, as drying mutes the flavor—though freezing in oil or water preserves the flavor well. The seeds, however, dry and store beautifully. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with potassium, cilantro is both a flavorful and healthy choice for every herb garden.
