Coriandrum sativum
Coriander is a popular annual for all lovers of diverse gastronomy, from Asian and Indian to Latin American cuisine. It originates in the warm regions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean, where it grows in sunny and drier places. The history of this herb is shrouded in mystery; in the Middle Ages, it was an important ingredient in love potions, and in ancient China, it was even worshipped as a plant of immortality. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant directly into the garden at your chosen spot. It will thrive best in full sun with humus-rich and well-draining soil, where it has adequate watering.
In the garden bed, it grows to a height of around forty to sixty centimeters and forms fresh green, distinctly aromatic leaves. These are popular for their unmistakable culinary use, where they enrich many recipes. During June and July, tiny white flowers arranged in delicate umbels appear above the clump of leaves. These flowers act as a great attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators. Growing coriander is very undemanding; it does not suffer from common diseases or pests, so even beginners can handle the care. Maintain a planting distance of about forty centimeters.
Although coriander is grown mainly as an herb, its delicate white inflorescence also has a firm place in floristry. It is excellent for cutting into summer bouquets, giving them a natural and airy look in a vase. If you leave the flowers in the bed until autumn, you can later harvest the aromatic seeds as well, which will perfectly complement your home spice collection.
