Growing Habits of Cilantro Seeds – Slow Bolt Herb
Non-GMO Slow Bolt Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) grows as upright annual herbs that thrive during the cooler seasons of spring and fall. This variety can reach heights of 1-3 feet, developing thin stems and aromatic, serrated green leaves, which allow for a longer harvesting season compared to other cilantro varieties. During late spring or mid-fall, Slow Bolt Cilantro plants give off a mild spice, providing the best flavor when used fresh. Younger cilantro leaves will continue to grow as lower leaves are harvested. As temperatures rise, heirloom coriander seeds develop, and the cilantro bolts, producing small clusters of white flowers.
