Coriander Seeds – Eryngium foetidum (Culantro, Ngo Gai, Recao, Longleaf Coriander)
Grow your own bold, aromatic herb with Coriander seeds (Eryngium foetidum), also known as Culantro (Latin America), Ngo Gai (Vietnamese), Recao (Caribbean), or Longleaf Coriander. This heat-loving cousin of cilantro delivers a stronger, richer flavor that holds up better in hot climates — perfect for salsas, soups, curries, and pho!
How to Plant Coriander (Culantro) Seeds:
Seed Prep (Optional):
Soak seeds in warm water for 8–12 hours before planting to speed up germination.
Sowing Seeds:
Sow shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, into moist, well-draining soil.
Germination takes 14–28 days — be patient!
When to Plant:
Best sown in spring or early summer when temperatures are 70–90°F (21–32°C).
Ideal for tropical, subtropical, or warm temperate regions.
Sunlight:
Prefers partial shade or filtered sunlight — too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
In cooler regions, can tolerate more sun.
Soil:
Grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soil with good organic matter.
Spacing:
Space plants 8–12 inches apart for a full leafy harvest.
Watering:
Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.
Harvesting:
Begin harvesting when plants reach 6–8 inches tall.
Regular cutting encourages new leaf growth and prevents early flowering (bolting).
Pro Tip: Coriander is slow to germinate but fast to grow once established — making it a fantastic summer alternative to cilantro where heat quickly ends the season.
