Botanical Latin Names: Coriandrum sativum
Cilantro/Coriander is right there with Cumin as one of the more useful herbs in the kitchen. Cilantro is one of those love it or hate it herbs that gardeners seem to have an on and off sort of affair with. I personally find it critical to anything that calls for tomatoes so it can liven up the dish when Cumin is far too potent. This annual is temperature sensitive and will not do well in the summer heat unfortunately so it is a solid cool season herb.
LITFM Garden shorts are intended as a series of short videos highlighting a specific plant/family in the Botanical Testing Gardens. The Gardens are located in North Carolina (Zone 8a). Hopefully this video gives you some good garden ideas and if you have questions or comments let me know.
