- Grow Cilantro seeds for its unmistakable strong scent and taste that has become the main ingredient in salsa and other Mexican dishes. A member of the carrot family, Coriandrum Sativum, grows easily from herb seeds, it produces a flat, parsley-like leaf, and round herb seeds. Both the seeds (Coriander) and the leaves (Cilantro) are aromatic and flavorful. Because of its strong flavor it is used in numerous foods around the world. Cilantro Santo is a steady grower, giving lots of leaves to harvest for Cilantro. It blossoms in summer with tiny white to pale pink flower clusters. Bees, butterflies and birds are all attracted to the flowers.
To harvest Cilantro, you can start snipping the leaves for fresh use when the plant is 6 inches tall or more. Snip off just the top 2 - 3 inches of the plant to ensure continuous growth. Slow to bolt Cilantro provides a longer harvest of the leaves before the plant flowers. In the late summer, two - three weeks after flowering, the plant sets small round, ribbed, beige-colored seeds. These are the Coriander seeds, wait 2 - 3 weeks for seeds to dry. Before seed begins to fall, cut stems 8 inches long, bundle stems together with rubber bands, place a bag over the bundle, and hang up-side-down, allowing the dried seeds to fall into the bag.
Growing Cilantro From Herb Seeds: Directly sow Cilantro seeds outdoors after the last frost for the season. Cilantro seeds are not fussy about soil, but they do need full sun and regular moisture. Sow small rows at 2 - 3 week intervals for an extended harvest all season long.
