Thompson & Morgan Herb Coriander Seeds

A quick, easy to grow herb with pungent leaves cropping in only 6 weeks. Essential for adding to curries, salsa and a host of hot and spicy dishes, as well as injecting life into cool salads. A decorative herb for the border thanks to its finely cut foliage, or as a pot plant on the windowsill.

How to sow

Sow direct outdoors or indoors in pots. Outdoors – prepare the soil by raking until it is fine and crumbling removing any large stones. Indoors – fill a pot or pots with free-draining compost. Sow at 4 week intervals for a continuous supply of fresh Coriander. Outdoors – sow thinly, 1cm (1/2in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart. Indoors – sow very thinly in a pot on the windowsill all the year round.

How to grow

When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart. Plants can quickly run to flower if not kept watered. Harvest young leaves as required, picking only a few from each plant. Sowings made in late summer will carry on cropping into winter with cloche protection.
