Cilantro

Perennial or Annual: Tender perennial or annual
Best Season to Plant: Spring and fall
Best Place to Plant: Sun to part sun
Growth: 1-5 feet at full height

Cilantro does best inn cool weather and needs sunshine to grow. It can be grown in some coastal climates through the summer or even year round if it’s temperate enough. Plant in a well-drained soil, and water regularly but allow soil to dry to the touch between watering. You can harvest by cutting through the plant no more than one-third of the way up the stems. This discourages the plant from flowering and will provide you with 3-4 more cycles to harvest. Sudden high temperatures and water stress will trigger the plant to bolt sooner than later.
