HR1191A - Calypso
Coriandrum sativum. While other types of cilantro have sent up their tall flower stalks and set seed, Calypso cilantro remains bushy and productive. This compact, low-growing variety comes from a British breeding program, and it's the slowest to bolt in side by side trials — resisting the urge to bolt by as many as three weeks. Its fragrance adds a distinctive flavour to broths, tacos, and countless other meals. Its low growing point allows it to regrow after multiple cuts for an extended harvest.
Matures in 50 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
- Slowest bolting variety
- Multiple harvests
- Repeat sowings
- Excellent flavour
