Densely sown cilantro in a red party cup (same volume as a 4” pot), best for growing on the kitchen windowsill. Cilantro is short-lived, but provides many harvests when the outer leaves are cut — straight into summer dishes.
If allowed to flower, delicate, white cilantro flowers attract small bees and other beneficial insects. The fruit — green coriander — is a delicacy. Letting those fruits mature yields coriander seed for use as a spice or for additional plantings.
Variety “Slow-bolt.” Plant age varies, photos taken 5/16/2026.
