The summary

What you receive: 200 organic, open-pollinated coriander seeds.
Sowing: under cover in March and April, in place from April to September, at a depth of 1 cm.
Germination: 10 to 20 days at 15 to 20 °C, quicker after soaking for 24 hours.
Two harvests: the leaves from June to October, then the seeds at the end of flowering.
Space needed: rows 15 cm apart, one plant every 15 cm after thinning.
The rhythm: a fresh sowing every 3 to 4 weeks, because the plant bolts quickly.

Annual herb with a double harvest, 200 farmers' seeds, leaves then seeds

The cultivated coriander seeds from the Kokopelli association are an annual herb with a double harvest, which first gives fragrant leaves from June to October, then seeds with lemony notes. The packet contains 200 organic, open-pollinated seeds. As the plant bolts quickly, a new sowing every 3 to 4 weeks extends the picking season.

Cultivated coriander is an annual herb of the apiaceae family, which gives two different harvests from the same plant. Its green, rounded, serrated leaves flavour Asian and Mexican dishes and tagines; its seeds, once dry, take on a citrusy note and are used as a spice in breads, curries and marinades. Its small white or pale pink flowers are edible too, in a salad or on a hot dish.

🌿 A quick-flowering plant

As soon as the days lengthen and the warmth sets in, coriander forms a flower stalk, and leaf production almost immediately stops: this is bolting. Each sowing therefore gives only a harvest window of a few weeks. To have leaves from June to October, sow a small batch every 3 to 4 weeks rather than a single row in spring, and cut the leaves young, as you need them. In midsummer, a spot in partial shade delays flowering, whereas in full sun the flower stalk appears much sooner.

Dose each batch with a hand seeder

Because the batches follow one another every 3 to 4 weeks, each one needs only a pinch of seed, and the packet of 200 seeds then covers a whole season. A hand seeder lets you drop the seeds one by one into the drill, instead of tipping the packet out all at once. You sow thinly from the outset, and thinning to 15 cm comes down to removing a few seedlings.

🪴 In a pot or in place

Two ways of sowing work well. Under bright cover, in March and April, sow in pots filled with a light seedling compost, then transplant at 15 cm spacing in every direction when the plants have 4 to 5 leaves. Sown in place, from April to September, sow thinly, in rows 15 cm apart and 1 cm deep, then thin to 15 cm at the same stage. Germination takes 10 to 20 days at 15 to 20 °C, and soaking for 24 hours in lukewarm water shortens it. Each round "seed" is actually a fruit containing two seeds, which explains why two seedlings sometimes emerge from the same spot.

Transplant young, with the whole root ball

Coriander forms a taproot, long and sparsely branched, which does not tolerate being broken. So transplant the seedlings from their pots at the 4 to 5 leaf stage, without waiting any longer, and transplant the whole root ball without breaking it up. A plant transplanted late or bare-rooted often reacts by flowering straight away, which ends the leaf harvest before it has even begun.

In aquaponics, coriander is one of the easy herbs, since its nutrient needs are modest, its growth is fast and it has no structure to support. Its taproot nevertheless prefers a grow bed filled with clay pebbles to a shallow raft basket. As it bolts quickly, set aside a spot that you will resow several times during the season, next to the longer-term crops presented in the 15 plants to grow in aquaponics.

🌼 From flower to spice

A plant that has finished producing leaves simply moves on to its second harvest. Let it flower in umbels, then wait until the small green balls turn pale beige, which takes several weeks after flowering. Then cut the whole stem over a cloth or a paper bag, because the dry seeds fall at the slightest knock, and finish drying them flat, away from damp. Kept in an airtight jar, they serve as a spice for several years, and you can resow part of the harvest the following year, since the variety breeds true.

What you need to know

Sow in succession rather than all at once. A pinch every 3 to 4 weeks gives leaves from June to October, because the window for each batch is short.
Soak the seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water before sowing. The seed coat softens and germination, which otherwise takes 10 to 20 days, is brought forward by several days.
Transplant the plants from their pots while young, at 4 to 5 leaves, without breaking up the root ball. Its taproot does not tolerate being broken, and a plant transplanted late flowers almost immediately.
Sow in partial shade in midsummer. The leaf-harvesting window lasts longer there than in full sun, where bolting comes very quickly.
A plant in flower begins its second harvest. The dry seeds keep for several years as a spice, and some will self-sow the following year.
Cut the umbels over a cloth or a paper bag. A dry seed falls at the slightest knock, and a harvest made without care loses a good part of it on the ground.
