Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Slo-Bolt cilantro is ideal for gardeners who experience warmer temperatures or wish to have a more extended supply of cilantro leaves. It grows best in cooler conditions and can tolerate light frost. Plant in full sun to partial shade.
When to Grow
Cilantro should be planted 3-4 weeks before the last frost in spring. In warmer climates, it can be grown in the cooler months of late fall and winter. Cilantro is also frost-tolerant to some degree and can withstand light frosts, making it suitable for growing in cooler seasons​.
How to Sow and Plant
Cilantro should be direct-sown as it doesn't transplant well due to its taproot. Plant the seeds about 1/4-1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil, spaced 4-6 inches apart. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which usually takes about 7-10 days. For continuous harvest, succession seed every 2-3 weeks.
How to Grow
Cilantro prefers full sun but partial shade in hot weather can prevent bolting. Provide the plants with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch around the plants to help retain moisture. Fertilizing is generally not necessary if the soil is rich in organic matter, but a light application of a balanced fertilizer can support growth​.
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.
FAQ
Can I grow cilantro indoors?
Yes, cilantro can be grown indoors in a pot that receives ample sunlight. A sunny windowsill is a good location. Keep the soil well-drained and water consistently.
How do I prevent cilantro from bolting?
To delay bolting, plant cilantro in cooler weather, provide some shade during hot periods, and keep the soil consistently moist. Regularly harvesting the leaves can also help keep the plant in a vegetative state longer​.
What should I do if my cilantro bolts?
Even after bolting, cilantro can still be used. The leaves may be more bitter but can still be added to cooked dishes. You can also allow the plant to continue to flower and set seeds, which can be harvested and used as coriander or saved for future planting​.
