Coriander does best outdoors when grown from seed.

2. Plant the seeds in light, well-drained soil and space them 1 to 2 inches apart.
3. Water regularly to keep the seeds moist during germination.

When to Harvest
Coriander can be harvested as soon as stalks reach five inches in height.
When the weather gets warm, the plant will quickly finish its life cycle and grow a long stalk which will produce blossoms and later seeds.
Little plants will sprout during the season and the next spring.

Use the stalks and leaves for a more intense flavour.
