4.5″ – Cilantro

Description

Santo Cilantro Sativum
Plant in Sun (at least 6 hrs of sun)
Space 12-18″ (30-46cm) apart
Grows 12-24″ (30-61cm) tall
by 12-18″ (30-46cm) wide
Pinch back young plants an inch or so
to encourage fuller, bushier plants.
Snip off the top part of the main stem
as soon as it appears to be
developing flower buds or seedpods.
Cilantro has a short life cycle and
bolts quickly (develops seed) in hot
weather. Once it sets seeds, the plant
quickly starts to degrade.
