Care snapshot
  • Growth: Fast (Matures in 50–75 days depending on conditions)
  • Light: Outdoor Light Needs: Cilantro thrives with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. However, in hotter climates, it benefits from some afternoon shade to prevent bolting due to excessive heat. Indoor Light Needs: When grown indoors, cilantro requires bright light, equivalent to at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight. Placing it near a south-facing window is ideal. If natural light is insufficient, especially during winter, supplement with grow lights for 12–16 hours a day.
  • Mature height: 18–24 inches
  • Mature width: 12–18 inches
  • Lifespan: One growing season (Annual)
Full product details

Standard cilantro.

In our trials, Leisure is very similar to Santo in uniformity, flavor, and bolt tolerance. Like the leaves and seeds, the flowers are also edible.

  • Attracts Beneficial Insects: if allowed to flower, provides pollen and nectar for beneficial insects such as bees, hoverflies, and tachinid flies.
  • Edible Flowers: Best used raw because the flavor quickly fades when cooked. Sprinkle to taste on salads, bean dishes, chicken, and spicy southwestern dishes. Mild cilantro flavor.

Key Features

Slow to Bolt: Leisure Cilantro is known for its resistance to bolting, making it ideal for longer harvests.

Edible from Leaf to Seed: All parts of the plant—leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds—are edible, offering multiple uses in cooking and garnishing.

Distinct Flavor: Known for its fresh, citrusy aroma, the leaves are a staple in many cuisines.

Cool-Weather Herb: Thrives in cooler temperatures, making it perfect for spring and fall planting.

Special considerations

Temperature Sensitivity: Cilantro bolts quickly in hot weather. Plant in cooler seasons or provide shade during peak heat to prevent premature flowering.

Consistent Moisture: The plant requires evenly moist soil but does not tolerate waterlogging. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Short Lifespan: As an annual herb, cilantro has a relatively short growing cycle. Succession planting every few weeks ensures a continuous supply.

Pest and Disease Management: Watch for common pests or fungal issues like powdery mildew. Neem oil or insecticidal soap can help address these problems.

Growing and Care Instructions

Sow seeds directly into well-draining soil enriched with compost. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and space them apart for optimal growth.

For container gardening, use pots deep enough to accommodate the plant's taproot.

  • Fertilizing

    Feed with a balanced organic fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may reduce flavor intensity.

  • Watering

    Water deeply but allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

  • Light Requirements

    Outdoor Light Needs: Cilantro thrives with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. However, in hotter climates, it benefits from some afternoon shade to prevent bolting due to excessive heat. Indoor Light Needs: When grown indoors, cilantro requires bright light, equivalent to at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight. Placing it near a south-facing window is ideal. If natural light is insufficient, especially during winter, supplement with grow lights for 12–16 hours a day.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
