Coriander is a tender green leafy herb which is an absolute essential for those who love Asian cooking… chop up the leaves and stems for some very tasty stir-fries and curries.

It’ll grow well in nice deep pots, preferably somewhere that gets the morning sun and a bit of shade later in the day, keeping the soil a little moist and not letting it dry out. The key to growing coriander is to not let it bolt – that means you will need to keep conditions “just right” and cut stems regularly.

Your coriander plant will inevitably bolt at some stage, at this point it will start to form seeds, you can keep these just wait until the flowers have died. Then, cut the stems and pop the tops of the coriander into a brown paper bag, leaving the stems sticking out the other end. Tie the bag around the stems and hang it upside down in a cool, dry place. 3 or 4 weeks later, you can simply shake them and the dry seeds will fall out into the bottom of the bag. You can either keep them to sow the following year use them in your cooking.
