Organic Caribe Cilantro Dense, dark green bunches of Caribe's aromatic leaves are growing in our garden every month of the year. We select for late bolting, slight stems and high vigor as well as cold hardiness. Cilantro sown in September consistently overwinters for us here in the Finger Lakes yielding the sweetest, most tender cilantro as soon as the snows melt. Indeed, cilantro grows best for us in the cool months and to get high quality cilantro throughout the summer we successively sow every three weeks. To encourage the innate bolt-resistance in our cilantro, only direct sow and never transplant your seed and be sure to offer ample, even water when it's dry and especially when it's hot.
