<#image#"/misc/usdaorganicclemson.gif" vspace="4" hspace="6" border="0" align="right">This annual herb has an unmistakable strong, sharp scent and taste that has become the staple ingredient in salsa and other Mexican dishes. A member of the carrot family, Cilantro is a very quick grower, but Longstanding is the slowest to bolt of all, giving you extra time to harvest those delectable leaves and seeds!
This Certified Organic variety sports 2- to 4-inch pale cream flowerheads, which eventually set seed. The heads can be cut and then dried to harvest the seeds as coriander for use in Oriental dishes, curries, and more.
Cilantro is not fussy about soil. Just plant in any full sun site. Sow small patches at 2- to 3-week intervals for an extended harvest all season long. Pkt is 100 seeds.
