Coriander plant
Coriander is an annual herb that must be raised from seed.
Throughout spring is the best time to either buy seedlings or plant seeds in their final position, either in a pot or herb bed in the garden.
Coriander grows very quickly and it is important to harvest leaves for kitchen use as they mature as the plant can quickly run to seed and can die in a matter of a few months, particularly if they are stressed when they are in the seedling stage.
Therefore it is important to grow them in optimal conditions with plenty of light and in a moisture retentive soil or potting mix.
It is also a good idea to apply a complete liquid fertilizer from an early age.
The leaves, roots and seeds of this versatile herb can be used for a wide variety of culinary purposes.
