Key benefits

  • Citrusy leaves first, then aromatic seed to save or grind
  • Leaves for curries, salsas and noodle salads
  • Old German variety that sets seed freely
  • Grows to about 50 cm tall in flower
  • Packet of about 100 seeds with growing instructions

'Thüringer' is an old German coriander valued for how freely it sets seed, so it is a fine choice if you want to save your own coriander seed as well as pick fresh leaves. Coriandrum sativum gives two harvests from one sowing: first the bright, citrusy leaves, then umbels of tiny white to pale pink flowers that ripen into round, aromatic seeds. Use the leaves in curries, salsas and noodle salads, and toast and grind the dried seed for spice blends, pickles and chutneys.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow outdoors from April to August, a small batch every few weeks, in drills or in pots. It dislikes transplanting, so sow where it is to grow.
  • Sow about 1 cm deep and cover lightly.
  • Germination takes 1 to 3 weeks.
  • For leaves, give it moist soil and some shade from midday sun to slow flowering; for seed, full sun is best.
  • Grows to about 50 cm tall in flower and 40 cm wide.
  • Pick leaves as soon as plants are large enough; seed ripens in late summer, when it turns light brown.
  • Hardy annual: it runs to flower in hot, dry weather, so keep sowing for a steady supply of leaves.

What you receive: a packet of about 100 seeds from Piccolo Seeds, with growing instructions on the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my coriander keep bolting?

Coriander flowers quickly in hot, dry weather and once it does, leaf production stops. Sow small batches every few weeks, keep the soil moist and give plants some midday shade in summer. 'Thüringer' sets seed readily, so if seed is what you want, let it flower.

How do I harvest coriander seed?

Wait until the seeds turn from green to light brown, then cut the heads on a dry day and hang them upside down in a paper bag. Once fully dry, rub the seeds free and store them in an airtight jar.

Can I grow coriander in a pot?

Yes. Use a pot at least 30 cm wide and deep, since coriander has a long taproot and dislikes being moved. Sow straight into the pot and keep the compost moist to delay flowering.
