The clumps arrived dry and have never recovered, which is a shame as this is rare.

Description

The Small Seeded Coriander, in Latin Coriandrum sativum, is a variety that produces small but highly aromatic seeds. It is an annual plant with foliage similar to parsley. The aroma of coriander is a blend of celery, anise, and orange. Dried leaves and seeds are used in Oriental and Asian cuisine, as well as in Latin American and Mediterranean cooking. Plant it in spring after the last frost, for a harvest throughout the summer as needed. Save some seeds to replant in warm conditions at the beginning of spring.  

Our plug plants are certified organic.

 

The Small Seeded Coriander belongs, like Chervil and Dill, to the Apiaceae family (formerly known as Umbelliferae) and forms a beautiful plant that can reach a height of 50cm (20in). It can be grown in full sun or partial shade, in fairly rich soil.

Although easy to grow, it is one of those highly reactive plants that require a minimum amount of heat to grow, but do not tolerate episodes of drought well, as it quickly goes to seed. To counter this sensitivity and have a continuous supply of this aromatic herb, we recommend staggered plantings, ideally every 3 to 4 weeks.

It is a herb with a fairly strong aroma. The leaves add flavour to marinades, fish, and salads. It is best used raw, as cooking alters its fragrance. The seeds, with their sweet and lemony flavour, are perfect with pickles and can also be ground and used in gingerbread.

Harvest: Coriander (leaves and seeds) can be harvested over a long period, from summer to autumn, provided that planting is staggered.

Storage: Coriander leaves can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator or for several months by drying or freezing. However, for the best aroma, it is preferable to consume them freshly picked. Once fully dry, the seeds can be kept in a paper bag or a jar at room temperature, away from moisture.


Gardener's Tip: To reduce the need for watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings mixed with dead leaves, starting from late May. This protective layer helps keep the soil moist and also reduces the need for weeding.

Planting and care

Planting coriander in the garden should be done once the risk of frost has passed.

Space the plants 20cm (8in) apart.

Cultivation:

Coriander thrives in full sun (early summer) or partial shade (mid-summer), in fairly rich soil. If additional compost is needed, it should preferably be applied in autumn, in the form of well-rotted compost that is incorporated by raking to a depth of 5cm (2in), after loosening the soil as is done for all vegetable crops.

This plant tends to go to seed quite quickly. You can delay this by cutting the flowering stem.

Coriander is a good companion in the vegetable garden: it stimulates the growth of cucumbers and repels carrot fly. Like all umbellifers, its flowers are highly appreciated by beneficial insects.
