Coriander is an annual herb also known as dhania or cilantro, where all parts are edible but the fresh leaves and dried seeds are most commonly used in cooking for their distinct flavors. The fresh leaves provide a bright, citrusy taste perfect for garnishing curries, salads, and Mexican dishes, while the dried seeds offer a lemony citrus flavor when crushed for spice blends. Perfect for herb gardens, container growing, or kitchen windowsill cultivation where fresh herbs are always within reach for cooking. Plant in well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade, spacing 15-20cm apart for optimal growth. Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced herb fertilizer to encourage continuous leaf production and seed development.
