Annual. Caribe was the best of the ten strains of cilantro in our previous trial. Received high marks from trialers: “hardworking with lots of excellent eating foliage and great flavor.” Long standing; was only beginning to flower on July 9. In 2018’s trials Caribe remained the winner in both taste and ability to hold in the heat. White or yellow certified-organic coating

Additional Information

Cilantro

About 60 seeds/g.

Used for its fresh green foliage, its edible flowers that attract beneficial insects, and its dried seeds—coriander. Essential flavoring in Indian, Chinese, Southeast Asian, Persian, North African and Latin American cooking. Accentuates soups, salsas and bean dishes like no other herb.

Culture: Annual grows to 2' with whitish blooms. Make succession plantings in average well-drained soil and keep watered for lushest leaf production. Thin early. In warm locations will stand longest as a fall crop. Self-sows.

Herbs

See Herb Chart for uses and cultural information.

About medicinal herbs: Archeological evidence dates the medicinal use of herbs back 60,000 years to the Neanderthals. 85% of the world’s population employ herbs as medicines, and 40% of pharmaceuticals in the U.S. contain plant-derived materials. Fewer than 10% of higher plant species have been investigated for their medicinal components. Interest in traditional herbal remedies continues to grow.

Statements about medicinal use of plants have not been evaluated by the FDA, and should not be used for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of any ailment. Before using or ingesting any medicinal plant, consult a healthcare practitioner familiar with botanical medicine.

Takinagawa Burdock and Resina Calendula, as well as oats, mammoth red clover and alfalfa in the Farm Seed section, also have medicinal uses. Medicinal herbs such as black cohosh, licorice, and many more are available as plants, and shipped in the spring with orders from our perennial plants warehouse.

Culture: Some herbs are customarily grown from divisions because they cannot come true from seed, such as scented thymes and flavored mints. Some require fall sowing of fresh seed, such as sweet cicely and angelica.

Using herbs: Drying herbs at home is not difficult. Whole leaves retain their flavor at least a year. To substitute fresh herbs for dried in cooking, use triple the dried quantity called for in a recipe.
