Cilantro is often used to add fresh flavor to Latin American and Southeast Asian dishes. If you're a fan, it's relatively easy to grow your own! As a bonus, once the plant dies and goes to seed, you can gather those seeds (called "coriander seeds") and grind them up as a spice.[1] Here, we've gathered answers to some of your most common questions about how to grow and harvest this delicious herb.
Steps
Expert Q&A
Tips
- Cilantro is a great companion to plant alongside dill, potatoes, or tomatoes.[15]Thanks
- If it's coriander seeds you're after, wait until about 3 months after planting and remove the brown, fruiting part of the plant. Allow it to dry, then collect the seeds and store them in a dry, tightly sealed container.[16]Thanks
Warnings
- Cilantro has a short life. If your plant dies after a couple of months, that doesn't mean you've done anything wrong! It simply isn't around as long as other leafy herbs, such as parsley.[17]Thanks
