Santo is a slow-bolting selection grown for its leaves. Direct seed every two weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves. Like the leaves and seeds, the flowers are also edible. Use them raw because the flavor fades quickly when cooked. Sprinkle to taste on salads, bean dishes, chicken, and spicy Southwestern dishes. Flavor is of mild cilantro. Avg. 2,000 seeds/oz. Packet: 200 seeds.
Latin Name: Coriandrum sativum
Days to Maturity or Bloom:
50-55 to leaf harvest, 90-105 to seed
