Slo-Bolt Cilantro Seeds - Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open Pollinated Herb

Slo-Bolt Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is a premium heirloom variety known for its slow-bolting nature, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want an extended harvest season. Unlike traditional cilantro varieties that tend to bolt quickly in warm weather, Slo-Bolt Cilantro is specially bred to resist premature flowering, allowing you to enjoy fresh and aromatic cilantro leaves for a longer period. This herb is a staple in many culinary traditions, especially in Asian, Indian, and Mexican cuisines, where it is used to enhance the flavor of dishes.

Why Choose ?

Slo-Bolt Cilantro Seeds are an ideal selection for gardeners and chefs alike. These seeds produce plants with highly fragrant, deeply lobed leaves that are perfect for salsas, curries, soups, and salads. If left to flower, the plant produces coriander seeds, which can be dried and used in spice blends such as curry powders and pickling spices. The versatility of this herb makes it a must-have for any kitchen garden.

Features 

1. Slow to Bolt:

3. Dual Purpose Plant:

   • Not only can you harvest the leaves for fresh use, but once the plant matures and produces flowers, you can collect coriander seeds for use as a spice. This makes Slo-Bolt Cilantro an excellent dual-purpose plant for culinary applications.

4. Attracts Beneficial Insects:

   • When left to flower, Slo-Bolt Cilantro attracts beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This makes it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens, improving overall biodiversity.

5. Ideal for Containers and Gardens:

   • Whether you have a large garden or a small balcony, Slo-Bolt Cilantro thrives in a variety of growing conditions. It can be grown in raised beds, traditional garden plots, or containers.
