Use healthy cilantro seeds and gently separate the rounded seed fruits into halves if appropriate. Soaking them briefly in water before sowing is optional. Allow excess water to drain before planting.

Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Sow seeds approximately ¼–½ inch deep and cover lightly with soil. Space seeds around 1–2 inches apart initially. Direct sowing is recommended because cilantro develops a taproot that can be sensitive to transplanting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about growing Large Leaf Cilantro, improving leaf production, and harvesting fresh coriander leaves.
How do you grow Large Leaf Cilantro with bigger leaves?
To encourage healthy, broad cilantro leaves, grow plants in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Maintain consistent moisture, provide adequate light, and avoid overcrowding. Harvest mature outer leaves regularly while protecting the central growing point. Suitable temperatures and protection from excessive afternoon heat also help support healthy foliage development.
How can I prevent Large Leaf Cilantro from flowering too early?
Cilantro naturally produces flower stalks when temperatures become too warm or growing conditions become stressful. To delay early flowering, grow plants during cooler weather, maintain consistent soil moisture, and provide partial afternoon shade in hot climates. Harvest leaves regularly and sow successive batches every few weeks for a continuous supply of fresh foliage.
When can I start harvesting Large Leaf Cilantro leaves?
Large Leaf Cilantro leaves can generally be harvested approximately 40–50 days after sowing, depending on temperature and growing conditions. You can pick young leaves earlier when they are large enough for use. Harvest the outer leaves first and leave the central growing point undamaged to encourage further foliage development.
