One plant, two harvests

Cilantro & Coriander From the Same Seed

Coriander and cilantro aren't two different herbs — they're the same plant. Pick the leaves young for fresh cilantro, or let it flower and go to seed for the warm, citrusy coriander spice used in curries, pickles and spice blends.

🌿

Fresh Cilantro Leaf

30–45 days

Cut the outer leaves regularly and the plant keeps producing. A fast, easy win for the kitchen.

⚪

Coriander Seed Spice

90–105 days

Let a few plants flower and set seed. Harvest once about half the seed heads turn light brown.

Ready to start cutting in as little as 3 weeks under warm conditions

🌱Sow Mar – Aug, avoiding peak summer heat

☀️Afternoon shade and consistent water reduce bolting

🌿Succession sow for a longer harvest window

Growing in a pot?

Any zone · any balcony

🏼A wide, shallow pot suits its taproot better than a deep narrow one

☀️Morning sun, afternoon shade in warm weather

🌿Sow a fresh pot every few weeks for continuous leaves

A general guide only. Coriander is a cool-season herb that bolts to flower quickly once soil temperatures climb — timing your sowing to avoid the hottest months matters more than almost anything else you do.

Seed to harvest

What happens next

Sowing

Sow 5–10mm deep direct where it will grow — coriander dislikes being transplanted, since disturbing its taproot can trigger early bolting.

Germination · 7–14 days

Best in cool soil, around 12–20°C. Keep the surface consistently moist while seedlings establish.

Thinning

Once seedlings reach a few centimetres, thin to about 15–20cm apart — though a little crowding actually helps shade the roots and slow bolting.

Leaf harvest · 30–45 days

Cut the outer leaves regularly rather than stripping the whole plant at once — this keeps it productive for longer.

Bolting & flowering

Once warm weather arrives, the plant sends up a flower stalk with small white blooms. This is natural, not a failure — let it happen if you want seed.

Coriander seed harvest · 90–105 days

Cut the seed heads once about half have turned light brown, then finish drying indoors. Use as a spice, or save some for your next sowing.

Tip: sow a new small batch every 2–3 weeks through your growing window for continuous fresh leaves
