When to Sow Coriander Seeds

One crucial aspect of a successful harvest is the perfect time to sow coriander seeds. The ideal sowing time is in the spring, after the last frost has passed. This give the plants lots of time to grow in the warm summer months.

You can also sow seeds in late summer, particularly in regions with mild winters. This helps avoid the heat of midsummer, which can cause bolting.

For an early start or if you live in an area with short growing seasons, you can sow coriander seeds indoors. Start them in pots about 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Once these seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them into an outdoor area.

Choose a sunny position for planting, as coriander prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates to prevent bolting.

Sowing Technique

Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing any weeds. Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Lightly cover the seeds with soil.

Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Consistent moisture is key to encouraging germination.
