Coriander Calypso-150 seeds -19216

Description

Bred to be slow to run to seed and to branch low down, creating uniform bushy plants that are perfectly suited to ‘cut and come again’ cropping, re-growing for 3-4 ‘cuts’. Wonderfully aromatic and full of flavour.

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-June, where they are to crop, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, directly into into finely-prepared, warm, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8″) apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous supply, make sowings at two to three week intervals. Or to grow indoors all year round, sow thinly 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Plants can be grown on a light windowsill. Harvest: Indoor crops all year round, outdoor crops from May. Pick a few leaves, as required, from each plant as they will regrow for 3 to 4 ‘cuts.’ They may be dried or frozen, but for best flavour, use fresh.

Tip: Can be used in curries, chutneys or salads. When cooking, add the bruised leaves at the last minute to retain maximum flavour.
