Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb Growing Habits
Non-GMO (Coriandrum sativum) Leisure Splits Cilantro grows as an upright annual herb that matures best in cool-to-temperate conditions. This heirloom split-seed variety of cilantro reaches 1-2" high, developing a verdant and spicy aroma. The serrated leaves will turn a deep green as your cilantro will thrive during late spring or early fall. Leisure Splits Cilantro Herbs provide the best flavor when used as fresh leaves. As the warm temperatures start to rise, your Leisure Splits Cilantro plants will begin to bolt as their Coriander seeds develop, before blooming small white flowers.
The Various Microgreen Benefits of Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb Garden Seed
Annual cilantro not only provides nutrition and medicinal properties, but this split-seed variety makes an ideal microgreen, as gardeners note how this cool-season herb can easily germinate. Also called "Chinese parsley", use fresh Leisure Splits Cilantro microgreens as a verdant garnish with mild spice! Sprinkle microgreens on tacos, salads, sandwiches, or simply eat raw!
The Gardening Benefits of Growing Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb & Seed
As cilantro herbs thrive in cool-to-temperate conditions, their shorter growing season can be extended by harvesting the Coriander seeds or dried fruit after your plants have bolted from the heat. Gardeners benefit from using the dried and ground split-seeds of this cilantro variety for aromatherapy or as a flavor enhancement to curries. You can also pickle your Coriander seeds. Leisure Splits Cilantro is one of the cool-season herbs that keeps on giving!
