Why Choose Our Cilantro Herb Seeds?

Our Cilantro Herb Seeds are open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO, ensuring you get the best quality for your garden. Each packet contains 50 seeds, enough to plant a 20-foot row. With a harvest time of just 55 days, you'll enjoy fresh cilantro in no time!

Planting & Growing Tips

For optimal growth, plant your Cilantro Herb Seeds outdoors after the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4" deep and thin them to 6" apart. Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. To delay blooming, water and trim the plants often. Cilantro thrives in sunny locations with well-draining soil. When harvesting snip the outer leaves from the plant, avoiding cutting the center growth, to encourage a steady supply of leaves. 

Versatile & Nutritious

Did you know that cilantro and coriander come from the same plant? The leaves (cilantro) add a zesty flavor to dishes, while the seeds (coriander) are a popular spice. Packed with nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron, cilantro also offers potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Perfect for Any Garden

Part of our Get Real Grow Food collection, these seeds are ideal for home gardeners looking to grow their own fresh herbs. Whether you're adding them to your vegetable patch or a container garden, cilantro is a must-have for any herb lover.

Plant these now in September

Cilantro doesn't grow well for me in the summer, but in the spring and fall it is great. I sow seeds in August and September in pots and in my garden. It is frost-tolerant too and it keeps going into the fall. I grow it to make salsa as I think that salsa is sooo much better with cilantro in it. Even my husband who doesn't like cilantro on it's own, says that the salsa isn't as good without it.

Great for salsa

I plant these cilantro seeds directly outside in the fall and early spring as it seems to do better in the colder months. I get the biggest harvest in the late spring early summer before it gets too hot, but then it goes to seed and I let it as bees seem to love the flowers and they smell nicely too. Then they turn into seeds which I can resow. I try to sow cilantro seeds in every pot, they seem to be most happy in pots in the cool spring months for me. I plant them in the ground, too, but I have the most success with cilantro in large pots and containers.

So glad you have Cilantro seeds now!

I've been growing your tomatoes and hot peppers for years as I love making salsa and pico de gallo. Now that you have cilantro and green onions, my salsa garden is complete! I just ordered several of your Black Prince, Berkeley Tie Dye, and Mortgage Lifter tomatoes, Jalapenos including your new purple jalapeno, and Aji peppers along with your cilantro seeds, and green onions. I can't wait to be enjoying some fresh spicy salsa again this summer!
