Growing Coriander
Indoor Sowing: Spring.
Direct Sowing: Spring and Autumn.
- Seeds can be started in well-prepared soil outdoors or sown in pots filled with multi-purpose compost in spring or autumn.
- Sow the seeds thinly and cover lightly.
- Germination will usually take between 7-20 days.
- Sow every three or four weeks for a constant supply of leaves.
- Leave the coriander growing until it is at least 5 cm tall. At this time, thin the coriander to be about 7.6-10 cm apart.
- It is best to grow it in crowded conditions because the leaves will shade the roots and help to keep the plant from bolting in hot weather.
- Keep soil and compost damp, but avoid over-watering. Dry soil or compost can cause plants to bolt or flower prematurely.
