How to Plant Cilantro from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Direct sow outdoors in early spring after the last frost.
  • For fall planting, sow seeds in late summer.
  • In mild climates, cilantro can be grown year-round.

Preparing for Planting

  • Choose a sunny to partially shaded location.
  • Loosen soil and mix in compost for improved drainage and nutrients.
  • If planting in containers, use a pot at least 8-10 inches deep.

Sowing Seeds

  • Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and 2 inches apart.
  • Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart once they sprout.
  • Keep soil moist until germination, which takes 7-14 days.

Succession Planting

  • Sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.
  • This ensures a fresh supply before older plants bolt.

Pro Tip

Cilantro bolts quickly in warm weather, so plant it in cool seasons or provide partial shade in summer. To keep a steady supply, sow new seeds every 2–3 weeks.

Bonus: Let some plants go to seed—coriander seeds are just as useful in the kitchen!

Getting to know your Cilantro

Cilantro is a fast-growing annual herb valued for both its flavorful leaves and seeds (coriander). A member of the Apiaceae family, it thrives in well-drained soil with moderate fertility and full to partial sunlight. Cilantro reaches a height of 12 to 24 inches and features delicate, lacy green leaves. It is a cool-season crop and tends to bolt quickly in warm temperatures, producing clusters of small white or pinkish flowers. Once bolted, the plant sets seeds that can be harvested as coriander spice. Cilantro’s distinct, citrusy flavor is widely used in Mexican, Indian, and Asian cuisines. Regular harvesting of leaves can delay bolting. Companion planting with basil and tomatoes can help improve growth.

What it's used for

1. Culinary Uses:

  • Fresh cilantro leaves are commonly used in Mexican, Asian, and Indian dishes.
  • Coriander seeds add a warm, citrusy flavor to curries, soups, and spice blends.
  • Can be used in pestos, salsas, and chutneys for a burst of fresh flavor.

2. Medicinal Benefits:

  • Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants.
  • Believed to aid in digestion and detoxification.
  • May help lower blood sugar levels and improve heart health.

3. Companion Planting:

  • Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.
  • Repels pests such as aphids, spider mites, and potato beetles.
  • Grows well with tomatoes, spinach, basil, and carrots but should be kept away from fennel.
Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Prefers full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) but benefits from partial shade in hotter climates.

Soil:

  • Grows best in well-draining, loamy soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8.
  • Enrich soil with organic matter or compost for optimal growth.

Watering:

  • Requires consistent moisture, but avoid waterlogging.
  • Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Cilantro prefers cool temperatures between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
  • Bolts quickly in temperatures above 75°F (24°C).

Fertilization:

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer (5-10-5) every 3-4 weeks to encourage healthy growth.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may reduce flavor intensity.
Maintenance

Watering:

  • Keep soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering.
  • Use mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning & Harvesting:

  • Begin harvesting leaves when plants are 4-6 inches tall.
  • Snip leaves just above a node to encourage regrowth.
  • If harvesting seeds, allow flowers to dry and collect brown coriander seeds.
