Cilantro Seeds for Planting: Fast, Fresh Leaves and Coriander Too

Fresh cilantro is one of the herbs most worth growing at home, since store-bought bunches wilt fast and homegrown leaves are far brighter. Our collection of cilantro seeds offers slow-bolting varieties for longer harvests, classic garden types for salsa, and options that suit pots on a patio or windowsill. Both organic and conventional options are available, and each listing notes which is which, so you can filter by organic status and container-friendliness.

Cilantro Seed Varieties: Slow-Bolting and Everyday Favorites

Cilantro's biggest challenge is its tendency to flower quickly in warm weather, so variety choice matters. Slow Bolt Cilantro, Calypso Cilantro, and Santo Cilantro are bred to hold their leaves longer before running to seed, while Leisure Splits and Confetti give you dependable, feathery foliage for everyday cooking. Caribe Cilantro, Coriander Cilantro, and the plain Cilantro packet are classic choices for salsa, guacamole, and curries, and all of them are quick to grow. Because most varieties in this collection are container-friendly, it's easy to keep a pot of cilantro right by the kitchen door and snip leaves as you cook.

Growing Cilantro from Seed: Plant Cool, Sow Often

Cilantro is a cool-season herb, it germinates at soil temperatures of 55 to 68°F and typically bolts and sets seed within four to six weeks of mid-summer planting. The listings in this collection show 46 to 60 days to maturity for most varieties, and since leaves are usable long before that, planting in small batches every few weeks keeps the harvest going. Early spring and late summer are the best windows. Scheduling repeat sowings by hand is easy to forget, so the Seedtime garden planning software builds a planting calendar around your frost dates that includes those succession sowings, and the layout planner makes it easy to tuck cilantro between taller crops that will shade it in the afternoon.
