How to Grow Coriander Seeds.
Seed sowing
Coriander do not transplant well and will likely go to seed (bolt) very quickly if the roots are disturbed. For this reason it is always best to sow coriander seeds directly into pots or into the soil of their permanent growing positions during the spring and summer months. Seeds should be carefully sown in drills at around 5cm apart, if growing for leaves, and up to 20cm apart if growing for seed production.
Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the ground as soon as the soil has warmed up, typically in late April or early May. Sow seeds 1–2 inches apart and about 1 cm deep.
Growing conditions: Coriander prefers a sunny location with light, fertile, and well-drained soil. It thrives in cool seasons and can tolerate light frosts.
Care: Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. For a continuous harvest of leaves, sow small batches every three or four weeks from mid-summer onwards.
Harvesting seeds: To harvest seeds, allow the plant to flower and set seeds. Once the seeds turn brown, cut the stems, hang them to dry, and then collect the seeds
