Plant Needs
Santo Organic Cilantro produces soft, aromatic leaves with the bright, citrusy flavor that defines fresh cilantro. This slow-bolting selection is grown primarily for leaf production, making it well suited for repeated harvests in spring and fall.
Plants grow 12–18 inches tall and can be harvested at multiple stages. Snip leaves once established for fresh use, or allow plants to flower and set seed for coriander. The flowers are also edible and attract beneficial insects when left to bloom.
Cilantro prefers full sun in cooler weather and may bolt quickly in the heat of midsummer. For continuous leaf harvest, sow every 2–3 weeks.
How to Sow
-
Direct sow 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil.
-
Keep soil evenly moist during germination (7–10 days).
-
Provide full sun or light shade in warmer climates.
-
Thin to 2–4 inches apart for best leaf growth.
-
Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for steady harvest.
