| Start Indoors | Not recommended; transplant stress may cause bolting (premature flowering). |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is 55°–68°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your average first fall frost date. In mid climates, best sown in fall for winter harvest. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Foliage flavor is best before the leaves turn feathery and plants begin to flower. Seeds should be harvested after they begin to turn brown and when the outer coat cracks, but before they drop off the plant and scatter. Cut stem and place in a brown paper sack to collect the seeds. Rubbing the seeds will cause the outer shell to drop off. |

- Debra S.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars7/16/26Very Tasty
The cilantro took a little bit of time to sprout and take off but worth the wait. It is very tasty and fresh. In light of the health crisis going on it's good to know I can pick my own home grown cilantro as opposed to buying something that may be contaminated with Cyclosporiasis.

I don't care for Cilantro so I started seedlings for friends and family and they all loved the fact they got so many starts to plant in their gardens.

These plants did well... they eventually bolted of course but were strong and healthy and I suspect other varieties would have bolted a lot sooner. Will definitely buy again!

- Dianna G.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/1/26Grew very well
I was gifted several packets of these seeds. My family doesn’t like cilantro, so I’ve been growing it for the chickens to enjoy. Literally scattered the seeds, watered in, and they took off. I’ve always thought that cilantro was difficult to start from seed, but these were extremely easy!
