Coriander Seeds FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions from customers looking to buy Coriander Seeds in the UK. For more information, feel free to contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs.
When to plant Coriander Seeds
Coriander seeds can be sown from late March to early September for a continuous supply of fresh leaves. For an early start, sow indoors from February, or for a winter crop, grow indoors or under cover. Coriander prefers mild temperatures and is best grown in spring and autumn, as hot summer weather can cause it to bolt (flower and set seed too quickly).
How to Plant Coriander Seeds
Sow coriander seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Space seeds around 2 cm apart and cover lightly with soil. If growing in pots, use multi-purpose compost and ensure the container has drainage holes. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings appear, thin them to around 15 cm apart to allow space for growth.
How long do Coriander Seeds take to grow?
Coriander seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days. If grown for leaves, you can start harvesting in 3-4 weeks. If left to mature fully for seeds, the plant will take around 3 months to produce seed heads, which can be dried and used for cooking or replanting.
Why should I plant Coriander Seeds?
Coriander is a versatile herb used in a wide variety of dishes, from curries and stir-fries to salads and garnishes. Growing coriander from seed ensures a fresh and continuous supply of both its fragrant leaves and seeds, which can be harvested for culinary use. It’s easy to grow, requires minimal space, and thrives in containers, making it ideal for small gardens and kitchens.
Where can I plant Coriander Seeds?
Coriander grows well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers. It prefers well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded area. If planting in hot summer months, provide some shade to prevent bolting. Coriander is also well-suited for windowsill or greenhouse growing, allowing you to enjoy fresh herbs year-round.
