Quick Facts:

• Days to harvest: about 55
• Hardiness: Cool-season (slow-bolt gives you a longer harvest window)
• Light needs: Full sun to part shade
• Water needs: Moderate

Planting:

• Direct sow is simplest.
• Depth: 1/4 in
• Spacing: thin to 4–6 in.
• Succession sow every 2–3 weeks if you want steady cilantro.

Care:

• Keep moisture even.
• If it starts to bolt, harvest what you want, then either let it flower (pollinators love it) or pull and re-sow.

Harvest:

• Start snipping once plants are 4–6 in tall.
• For best regrowth, don’t take more than about 1/3 at a time.
• Storage: treat it like a bouquet in a jar of water, or store stems in water in the fridge with a loose bag over the top.

Why This Variety:

Slow-Bolt does exactly what it says it does.

Cilantro doesn’t love heat. This one stays leafy longer.
