Cilantro Certified Organic

Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is one of the most globally beloved and — let’s be honest — divisively flavored herbs in the world. For the devoted majority who love it, nothing quite replaces the fresh, bright, citrusy-herbal character of cilantro in salsas, guacamole, pho, tacos, curries, and countless other dishes where it belongs. And uniquely among culinary herbs, cilantro is actually two spices in one: harvest the fresh leaves as cilantro, or allow the plant to flower and set seed, then harvest the dried seeds as coriander — a warm, earthy spice essential to pickling, curry powders, and baking. USDA-Certified Organic, container-friendly anywhere, and perennial outdoors in Zones 8–11.

Two Harvests From One Plant — Cilantro Leaves and Coriander Seed

Cilantro’s dual-harvest quality is what makes it such exceptional value in the herb garden. The fresh lacy leaves are cilantro — bright, citrusy, aromatic, and essential to fresh Mexican, Southeast Asian, and Indian cooking. Let the plant bolt and flower, allow the seeds to ripen to gray-brown, and harvest them dried as coriander — a completely different spice with a warm, slightly citrusy, earthy character used in pickling, soups, bread, and spice blends worldwide. One plant, two very different ingredients, both genuinely useful.

USDA-Certified Organic — Ready to Plant

Every Stark Bro’s Cilantro arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Harvest leaves regularly before the plant flowers for the freshest, most intensely flavored cilantro — once the plant bolts, leaf production slows and the flavor shifts. For a continuous supply of fresh leaves, succession plant every few weeks through the growing season or allow some plants to bolt for coriander while keeping others in active leaf production.

Attracts Pollinators — Beautiful in the Garden

Cilantro’s delicate white flowers are genuinely pretty and attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects to the garden when the plant is allowed to bloom. The lacy, fine-textured foliage is ornamental in herb beds and containers throughout the growing season, making it as visually pleasant as it is culinarily valuable.
