Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum)
Is a fast-growing herb with an intense citrus flavor that inherently belongs to Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisine. It has mildly detoxifying effects and tastes best completely fresh. In Oliver, we recommend harvesting it only once – and utilizing it to the maximum.
Custom planting vs. prepared sets
Individual capsules are intended more for advanced growers who:
build their planting from scratch themselves
understand the differences in growth speed and plant size
want full control over the composition of their planting
If you want to be sure that the plants will grow evenly and the harvest will be continuous, we recommend choosing a prepared plant set with cilantro. Sets are designed so that the individual plants work as a whole – without having to figure out combinations, light, or growth pace.
You can find cilantro in these sets:
