Coriander 'Calypso' Seeds

• Great used raw as a garnish or in salads, or to add flavour to curries, soups, tagines and chutneys.
• When cooking, add the bruised leaves at the last minute to retain maximum flavour.

How to grow Coriander ‘Calypso’

Sow outdoors Thinly where they are to crop, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, directly into finely prepared soil that has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8in) apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous supply, sow every 2-3 weeks.

Or to grow indoors Sow 0.5cm (¼in) deep, thinly in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Plants can be grown on a light windowsill.

Harvesting Pick the leaves as required (outdoor crops from May). Pick a few leaves from each plant. They will regrow for 3-4 cuts. They may be dried or frozen but for best flavour, use fresh.

Aftercare
Keep well-watered to avoid letting the plants run to flower but don’t allow to sit in water. Remove flowering stems to prolong quality leaf production unless you want to harvest the seeds, in which case allow the flowers to remain and seeds to develop.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
