It should keep going for 3-4 years.Number of plants: 3
Can be grown in: Pots work well, but make sure they are deep as this coriander likes to put down good roots. A raised bed would be good as well.
In the kitchen: Young leaves are delicious chopped fresh in salads. Use in stir fries and curries, added towards the end of cooking time to retain the subtle flavours. It works wonderfully as a flavouring alongside lime, chilli and lemon grass.
