Bred to resist bolting in summer, this cilantro produces leaves, stems, roots, and seeds that are useful in a variety of cuisines. Strongly flavoured and fast growing, Santo works well in containers, and thrives in the cool weather of spring and fall.

Specifications
  • Starting
    Sow 2cm (1″) deep in short rows. Thin seedlings to stand 5-10cm (2-4″) apart if harvesting leaves. If growing for seed, allow 23cm (9″) between plants.
  • Growing
    Cilantro is tricky because several factors can cause it to bolt. Avoid transplanting for this reason, and avoid hot conditions as well as too much moisture. It does best in light, well-drained soil in partial shade, in relatively dry conditions. This is easy to achieve beneath a cloche in winter, where cilantro will thrive. Once it blooms, the seeds ripen suddenly, in only a couple of days, so care should be taken to prevent self sowing or simply losing those useful seeds.
