Growing Slow Bolt Coriander
Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.
Direct Sowing: Spring to Autumn.
- Indoor sowing is not recommended as coriander plants do not transplant well.
- Direct sow seeds in well-prepared soil outdoors.
- Coriander prefers well-drained soil, rich in compost.
- Soak seeds overnight in water and then sow seeds directly into the garden or containers.
- Choose a sunny, warm location.
- Sow the seeds thinly, about 10cm apart and cover lightly with soil.
- It is best to grow it in these crowded conditions, because the leaves will shade the roots and help to keep the plant from bolting in hot weather.
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
- Germination in about 10 days.
- Sow every three or four weeks for a constant supply of leaves.
- Keep soil and compost damp, but avoid over-watering. Dry soil or compost can cause plants to bolt or flower prematurely.
