Santo Cilantro Seeds

Looking for a reliable cilantro variety that promises both superb flavor and bountiful yields? Let me introduce you to Santo cilantro, a Park Seed favorite that’s a cut above the rest. Ideal for zones where cilantro thrives, Santo is a robust grower that’s highly regarded for its resistance to pests in both vegetable plots and flower beds. Plus, it’s a real treat for your taste buds, with its iconic strong, sharp zest that’s perfect for salsa and a wide array of Mexican cuisine.

As a member of the carrot family, Santo cilantro is designed for a steady growth that outpaces the bolting phase, ensuring you get to enjoy fresh leaves longer than you might with other varieties. Just a month after planting, you can start snipping off the tender new leaves. It’s a garden gift that keeps on giving, as you can harvest what you need and let the plant replenish its lush foliage throughout the season. For the best flavor, keep those flower buds in check, but don’t forget – towards the season’s end, let the flowers bloom to collect coriander seeds, adding a new spice dimension to your dishes.

When those delicate cream flowers transition into seeds, it’s time for the next phase. Harvest these seeds for coriander, an aromatic spice that can be used whole or ground to add warmth and depth to curries, Asian recipes, and even your favorite baked treats.

Get your Santo cilantro seeds in the ground when spring is in full swing, continuing to sow every few weeks to extend your harvest time. A little bit of fertilizer when the plants are young and some strategic pinching will help your cilantro bush out nicely. And for those in warmer zones, a late summer or early fall sowing will yield a fantastic fall crop. Trust Park Seed to bring you the best in garden freshness with Santo cilantro – your go-to herb for an unbeatable homegrown flavor. Packet contains approximately 1.5 grams.
