Notes
'Marino' cilantro (Coriandrum sativum 'Marino') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Its fragrant leaves and flowers draw butterflies and bees. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching about 18 inches tall.
Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Black Cherry tomato, and Alpha calendula.
