The right season
Coriander prefers mild weather, so sow from October to March in the UAE. In summer heat it bolts to seed quickly.
Choose your seeds
Coriander Agrimax Seeds are an affordable pack for home growers, and the Coriander Seeds Tin gives you a larger supply.
Sowing
Fill a pot or bed with loose, well-draining soil. Scatter seeds thinly, cover with a thin layer of soil and water gently. Seedlings usually appear within a couple of weeks.
Care
Keep the soil evenly moist and give the plants morning sun with some afternoon shade. Thin seedlings so they have room to grow.
Harvesting
Pick outer leaves once plants are several centimetres tall, leaving the centre to keep growing. Sow a new batch every few weeks for a steady supply.
