Product Details
Moroccan coriander is a four-in-one herb! Fast-growing, it quickly produces a flavorful flush of leaves soon followed by delicate, white (and edible) flowers that are a treat for small beneficial insects, keeping pests away. But the best part of this variety is the large, green seed pods with bright, aromatic flavor that come after flowering; since it's quick to bolt, it's ideal for producing an abundance of seeds, and its long, clean stems make harvesting easy! Let them dry to brown and use as homemade ground coriander spice—essential to international cuisine. Easy to grow and versatile!

Growing Info
Harvesting: Foliage flavor is best before the leaves turn feathery and plants begin to flower. Harvest green seed pods before they start to turn brown for fresh use. For dried seed to use as ground coriander, harvest after the pods have turned brown and when the outer coat cracks, but before they drop off the plant and scatter. Cut stem and place in a brown paper sack to collect the seeds. Rubbing the seeds will cause the outer shell to drop off.

100% germination (cracked seeds before sowing) and steady growth. Due to the heat of this season, they are growing indoors in a deep pot with grow lights and some bunching onions and doing well.
