A soft, fine leafed herb with a distinctive smell and taste popular in Asian cooking. Leaves, stems, roots and seedpods are all edible. Coriander prefers cool to warm conditions and will bolt to seed in warm weather so in temperate zones plant in early Spring and late Summer. A regular supply will require repeat plantings although it can self seed.
