Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Coriander bolt so quickly?
It bolts fast in heat — sow seeds little and often through the season rather than all at once, so you always have young, non-bolted plants coming up for continuous harvest.
Can I transplant Coriander seedlings?
It's best avoided — Coriander dislikes root disturbance, so sow seeds directly where they'll grow rather than starting them in trays to transplant later.
