Santo Cilantro Herb - 3" Pot - Coriander - Live Plant

HERBS: Treat yourself to fresh herbs right from your garden! The difference when home grown is impressive! All are excellent for adding distinctive flavor to meat, and fish dishes, gravies, soups, salads and vegetables. They are fun to grow and make an attractive garden addition! Santo Flowers Late - that Means Bigger Harvests! Harvest the leaves (cilantro) and the seeds (coriander) of this versatile herb for varied culinary treats. This annual herb has an unmistakable strong, sharp scent and taste that has become the staple ingredient in salsa and other Mexican dishes. A member of the carrot family, Cilantro Santo grows slow and steady, allowing you to keep harvesting leaves when others have already bolted to seed. After the 2- to 4-inch pale cream flower umbels have formed, allow them to go to seed. Cut and dry the heads, harvesting the seeds and using them as the spice coriander. Coriander can be used whole or ground in curries, Oriental dishes, and savory baked goods. Measurements are approximate.
