How to Grow
Coriander seeds are best sown directly outdoors from February to September, as the plant dislikes root disturbance. It thrives in cooler conditions, making window boxes, balconies, containers, and garden beds ideal locations for growing fresh coriander.
Sowing
Sow coriander seeds thinly in well-drained soil from February to September, covering them lightly and watering gently to encourage germination. Regular sowings every 2–3 weeks ensure a continuous supply of fresh leaves.
Growing
Thin seedlings carefully to allow good airflow and healthy leaf growth, spacing plants to accommodate their 0.6m height and 0.25m spread, ideally in 25cm pots or similar spaces. Growing coriander in partial shade during warmer months helps prevent bolting and supports steady development from May to September.
Plant care
Keep coriander plants evenly watered to support their growth and protect them from hot midday sun to extend the cropping period. Harvest leaves little and often to encourage fresh growth, and if plants start to flower, cut them back or resow to maintain a continuous supply of tender leaves.
