Cilantro’s culinary history is a long one. In fact, it is one of the oldest spices/herbs in existence. The herb was brought to the Americas in the 1600s and since then it has taken on a prominent role in dishes from the American Southwest, Mexico and throughout Latin America.
Choose a sunny site that will allow cilantro to self-seed as it is ought to do. Plant in an herb garden or the corner of a vegetable garden. When the weather gets warm, the plant will quickly finish its life cycle and send up a long stalk which will produce blossoms and later seeds. Little plants will sprout during the season and the next spring.
Planting Cilantro in light, well-drained soil 1/4 – 1/2 depth – 1 to 2 inches apart. Sow the seeds at 3-week intervals for continued harvest.
Tip: It is important to keep the seeds moist during their germination, so remember to water the plants regularly.
