Coriander (Cilantro)

A quick and easy-to-grow herb, coriander produces pungent, flavour-packed leaves in as little as 6 weeks. Essential for curries, salsas, and spicy dishes, it also adds a fresh kick to salads. With its finely cut foliage, it’s both decorative in the border and ideal as a windowsill pot plant.

Hardy annual suitable for indoor and outdoor growing.
