Notes

'Slo-Bolt Cilantro' cilantro (Coriandrum sativum 'Slo-Bolt Cilantro') 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. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and has fragrant leaves. Butterflies and bees visit the summer blooms.

Pairs well with Basil, Lettuce, and Yarrow.
