Growing Tips

Dwarf Lemon cilantro is ideal for container gardening or small garden spaces due to its smaller growth habit. It grows best in cooler conditions and can tolerate light frost. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Succession-sow for consistent supply.

When to Grow

Like other cilantro varieties, Dwarf Lemon prefers cooler weather. Sow the seeds in early spring 3-4 weeks before the last frost. In mild climates, it can be grown in the winter as well. It is not tolerant of extreme heat and may bolt if temperatures rise too high.

How to Sow and Plant

Direct sow Dwarf Lemon cilantro seeds in well-draining soil about 1/4-1/2 inch deep. Space the seeds 4-6 inches apart. This variety is well-suited for container gardening, making it a good choice for those with limited garden space. Keep the soil consistently moist to ensure successful germination, which typically occurs within 7-10 days.

How to Grow

Dwarf Lemon cilantro grows best in full sun to partial shade, especially in warmer climates where some afternoon shade can prevent bolting. Regular watering is very important to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushier growth and delay bolting.

How to Save

Plants will readily self-seed in the garden. It is very easy to save seeds of cilantro as the plants so easily go to seed. Simply allow seeds to dry on the plant, shake them loose, and store them in a cool, dry, dark location. The seeds, often called coriander, are also used in cooking.
