Slow Bolt Cilantro offers a longer window of fresh, aromatic foliage by resisting heat-induced bolting better than standard cilantro. Its bright, citrusy flavor makes it an essential ingredient for salsas, curries, salads, and countless global dishes. This cool-season herb grows quickly, adapts well to both garden beds and containers, and provides dependable harvests for home cooks and gardeners alike.

We ship to the Continental U.S. and Alaska only. We cannot ship to Hawaii, overseas U.S. military bases, or U.S. territories.

Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall when soil temperatures are cool.
  • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade, as plants appreciate some protection during warmer periods.
  • Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
  • Thin seedlings to stand 6–8 inches apart once they reach several inches tall, giving each plant room to reach 18–24 inches in mature height.
  • For continuous harvests, sow new seeds every two to three weeks during the cool season.

Maintenance

  • Provide consistent moisture during the cool months, as cilantro prefers evenly damp soil that never becomes waterlogged.
  • Mulch lightly around plants to help stabilize root temperatures and slow premature bolting.
  • Remove developing flower stalks early if the goal is to prolong leaf production.
  • Space plants to allow roughly 6–8 inches of spread, ensuring good airflow and reducing stress.
  • Fertilize sparingly with a balanced, mild organic fertilizer to support steady leafy growth.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest leaves as soon as they reach a usable size, typically beginning around 55–70 days after sowing.
  • Cut outer stems first to encourage continued leafy growth over a longer season.
  • Store harvested leaves loosely wrapped in the refrigerator for short-term freshness.
