Magdalena Cilantro

Coriandrum sativum. A family heirloom from Magdalena, Sonora, generously donated by Jesus Garcia.    The fragrant cilantro leaves are useful in so many recipes ... and when it bolts, save the coriander seed to grind for recipes or to plant again.  From our Seed Bank Collection. Origin: low desert, about 3300' elevation This is a cool season crop in the low desert, and should be planted into cool soil (late winter through very early spring) ... elsewhere grow it in the spring.  Approx. 1g/100 seeds per packet. Limit 3 packets.
