Cilantro Seeds
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Scientific Name: Coriandrum sativum
Grown in Williams, Oregon
Cilantro is a versatile herb that offers multiple uses throughout its growth cycle. Harvest the fresh, aromatic leaves before the plant flowers to enjoy their bright, citrusy flavor in culinary creations like salsas, soups, and marinades. As the plant matures, it produces seeds known as Coriander, a spice with warm, nutty undertones commonly used in curries, baked goods, and spice blends.
The seeds form in pairs, with two tightly fused together in a single pod. To prepare for planting, gently break the seed pods apart by rubbing them on a hard surface or between wooden blocks. This separation encourages faster and more successful germination. Regular watering helps maintain healthy growth, but avoid overwatering to prevent root issues.

SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Sow the separated seeds directly into the garden bed in early spring as soon as the soil is workable. Space furrows 2 to 3 feet apart, lightly cover the seeds with soil, press gently to ensure good contact, and keep the area consistently moist to encourage sprouting. Cilantro seeds can be slow to germinate, particularly if the soil becomes too warm, so cooler conditions are ideal. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds in intervals of about three weeks. Be sure to pick the leaves before the plant begins to flower for the best flavor and texture.
Germination Time: Approximately 7-21 Days at 50-70°F
Seed to Bloom: Approximately 40-70 Days
Starting Outdoor: Sow in early spring, 3-4 weeks before last frost. Can also be fall sown (October) in zones 3-7.

Store Policies
Please review our store policies below on Shipping & Processing, Live Delivery Guarantee, and Returns/Replacements. By placing your order, you are agreeing to these policies. Thank you!
Changes/Cancellations:
Please note that our Live Delivery Guarantee pertains specifically to the condition of the insects at the time of delivery and does not cover instances where insects may perish at a later stage. We will exercise our discretion to assess whether your situation falls within the time frame qualifying for our policy. Factors such as the insect species, hatching time, temperature conditions, and other relevant considerations will be taken into account to determine the applicability of the guarantee. For non-hatching insects, you must contact us within 48 hours of delivery in order to be considered for the guarantee. Replacements will only be processed/shipped on Wednesdays & Thursdays.
Upon receiving your package from NaturesGoodGuys, we highly recommend opening it immediately and checking for a sticker indicating the need for refrigeration. It's crucial to carefully read the instructions included for specific storage information to ensure the well-being of your beneficial insects. We are not responsible for replacements due to incorrect storage methods.
One important thing to note is that we do not expect ice packs to remain frozen or cold upon delivery. Ice packs serve as a temporary measure to help maintain moisture and temperatures during transit.Please keep in mind that some insects may require time to adjust and recover from transit before they become active. If you don't observe immediate movement upon opening the package, this doesn't necessarily mean they are not viable. Give them a little time, and monitor for signs of activity as they settle into their new environment. Most of our insects are difficult to see without magnification.
Some species/quantities do not have multiple shipping methods to choose from because they require short transit time for viability. For those who have concerns about the well-being of their insects during transit, we suggest selecting overnight shipping. This ensures that your beneficial insects spend minimal time in transit, reducing stress and maximizing their chances of arriving in optimal condition.
