Cilantro by any other name


Cilantro is the name given to the leaves of this herb, while its seeds are called coriander.'ve tried growing cilantro from both transplants and seeds. It works better when grown from seed. Last year I attempted to extend the growing season by pinching it off before it bloomed, but this year I've decided to let it go to seed. I think the flowers are rather attractive, and they also attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

If you're interested in growing cilantro and/or coriander, here are a couple of informative links:
