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.

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.
