Cilantro
Cilantro
Coriandrum sativum
A perfect herb for containers because your garden provides an ongoing supply to pick fresh as you need it, instead of buying big bunches that are too much to use at once. Ripe brown seed is the spice called Coriander, another name used for this plant.
Re-seed multiple times through the season for continual harvest. Cut often to prevent bolting. Cilantro is adaptable to cool or hot weather. Let some go to flower for attracting beneficial insects.
