Type: Annual herb
Sun / water: Full sun / every other day in early spring and early summer
When I plant it: Late winter or fall. Cilantro does not like the heat and flowers when it gets too warm.
What I’ve seen
Goes to seed in summer, as it is not heat tolerant.
How I use it
Leaves: moderate flavor, for Mexican and Asian dishes. Seeds (coriander): moderate flavor, for sausage and baking.
