Coriander is very popular and widely used in cooking.
It is also used as a medicinal and aromatic plant, as a raw material for the manufacture of cosmetic preparations. Dry seeds are especially valued.
In addition, coriander is bred as a magnificent ornamental plant. Its delicate finely dissected leaves cover the bushes with a delicate green cloud.
In July-September, large inflorescences-umbrellas, consisting of small white-pink flowers, rise above it. They exude a unique aroma.
Then, round-shaped fruits begin to ripen in umbrellas. They are harvested, dried and used as a culinary condiment.
Inflorescences with immature green seeds can be cut, dried and used to make dried flower arrangements.
Usually, coriander bushes reach a height of 50 cm, but for decorative purposes, it is better to plant the variety "Bengal Giant", whose shoots grow twice as high.
They are easier to cut and dry.
Coriander seeds are sown in a sunny place in ordinary garden soil between March and May. They begin to germinate at a temperature of +4+6°C.
At a soil temperature at a seeding depth of +10+12°C shoots appear after 20-22 days, and at a temperature of +15+17°C at 10-12 days.
The plant is relatively cold hardy. Young plantings tolerate frosts down to -5°C. (In southern countries, coriander overwinters well).
Prefers light, fertile, moist and non-acidic soils. The plant is photophilous.
