Notes
Slow-bolting leaf coriander. Let plants run to seed: the round seed is the spice. Cut heads when half are brown.
Saving seed · Easy
Self-pollinating annual. Seed ripens the same season. Keep 3 m from other varieties of the same plant.
- Mark two or three healthy plants early.
- Leave the fruit, pod or head to ripen fully on the plant.
- Dry the seed 7–14 days on paper, out of direct sun.
