Notes
'Santo Monogerm' cilantro (Coriandrum sativum 'Santo Monogerm') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Its seeds are split, so you can space them precisely when planting. Butterflies and bees visit the fragrant plants, which grow fast.
Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Honey Bee tomato, Ruby Perfection cabbage, and Alpha calendula.
