Instructions:
Slow bolt cilantro tolerates warmer weather better than other cilantro varieties, but prefers cooler temperatures in the spring and fall. It can be sown in early spring or fall. Harvest the lower, older leaves so the newer leaves can fill in and keep the plant growing. Once it gets too warm, the plant will "bolt" and flower, after which the plant should be removed. To keep a consistent supply of cilantro, plant new seeds every week or two.
