Coriander Seeds (Lemon Mix)
A mix of Lemon Coriander & regular Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
Description:
Lemon coriander is a variety of regular coriander with more of a lemon fragrance and flavour.
It is an annual herb belonging to the Apiaceae family, valued for its culinary uses. It is a delicate herb that typically grows up to 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) in height, featuring slender, branching stems with feathery, bright green leaves. Coriander produces small, umbel-shaped clusters of white or pale pink flowers that later develop into round, light brown seeds.
Growing Conditions:
Climate: cool-temperate to subtropics; prefers temperatures ranging from 15 to 24°C but can tolerate some heat; prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause premature bolting (flowering).
Position: full sun to partial shade with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day; providing some shade during the hottest part of the day in warmer climates can help prevent bolting.
Soil: well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter; can tolerate various soil types but thrives in loamy or sandy soil; ideal soil pH range is slightly acidic to neutral (around 6.0 to 7.0).
Water: moderate water needs; water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid water-logging.
Spacing: space the plants approximately 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) apart to allow them room to develop.
Propagation: sow the seeds directly into the garden bed or seed flats/pots in early spring or late summer; lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them consistently moist until germination occurs, usually within 7 to 10 days. TIP: lightly scarifying the seeds by rubbing between two blocks with sandpaper, can help speed up germination.
Harvest:
Leaves: Harvest the leaves when they are young and vibrant, before the plant starts to bolt and produce flowers. Leaves can be harvested individually by pinching or cutting them off near the base of the stem. Regular harvest encourages bushier growth.
Seeds: Allow the flowers to develop and form seed heads. When the seed heads turn brown and begin to dry, cut the stalks and place them in a paper bag. Hang the bag upside down in a well-ventilated area to allow the seeds to fully dry. Once dried, shake the bag to release the seeds.
