Common Name : Cilantro

Height : 12 - 24" (30 - 61cm)

Exposure : Sun

General Information : Santo is fast growing with broad, celery-like stems that are perfect for bunching. Its unmistakable sharp scent and taste have made it the staple herb in salsa and other Mexican dishes.

Idea & Tips : Pinch back young plants an inch or so to encourage fuller, bushier plants. Snip off the top part of the main stem as soon as it appears to be developing flower buds or seedpods. Cilantro has a short life cycle and bolts quickly (develops seed) in hot weather. Once it sets seeds, the plant quickly starts to degrade.
