Coriandrum sativum
Coriander grows well in sunny or semi-shade conditions. It is a great herb for Middle Eastern and Indian cooking. But don't forget to keep it moist in hot weather.
Coriandrum sativum, commonly known as Coriander, is a fast-growing annual herb grown for its aromatic leaves and flavourful seeds. Fresh leaves are widely used in salads, curries, stir-fries and salsas, while the dried seeds are a popular culinary spice. Coriander grows best in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Succession planting every few weeks helps provide a continuous harvest, as plants naturally bolt in warm weather. Suitable for many New Zealand gardens, coriander is ideal for vegetable gardens, raised beds, containers and herb gardens.
Key difference: Aromatic leaves and edible spice seeds.
Companion vegetables:
Coriander grows well alongside lettuce, spinach and spring onions.
