Lake Valley Heirloom Chinese Parsley (Cilantro) Seeds

Sowing Information: 

  • Light: Full sun to part shade 
  • When to Start Inside: Not recommended; transplant stress may cause bolting (premature flowering). 
  • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is 55°–68°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your average first fall frost date. 
  • Seed Depth: 1/2 inch 
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 6 inches

Growing Notes: 

  • Harvesting: Foliage flavor is best before the leaves turn feathery and plants begin to flower. Seeds should be harvested after they begin to turn 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. 
  • Attributes: Good for containers, attracts beneficial insects
