Scientific Name: Coriandrum sativum
Family: Apiaceae
Product Description:
Calypso cilantro is a variety known for its slow bolting ability and high yield of flavorful leaves. It is a slow-to-bolt cilantro variety, remaining productive for up to three weeks longer than other types before going to seed. This variety is particularly useful for gardeners in hotter climates as it resists bolting better than other cilantro varieties. The plants are compact and low-growing, typically reaching a height of 12 to 18 inches. They are stocky and well-branched, producing large, uniform leaves that are packed with authentic cilantro flavor. The foliage color is medium green, and the plants have a habit of growing back almost as quickly as they are cut, ensuring a longer season of fresh herbs

Growing Instructions:
Calypso cilantro is an annual herb that prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot conditions. It thrives in light, well-drained soil and does not require fertilizers with high nitrogen content, which can reduce the flavor of the leaves and is resistant to boltings. The leaves can be harvested once the plants have become established and before flowering begins. It is a versatile herb that can be grown in containers or in the ground and is suitable for beds, containers, cuisine, and outdoor use. It's an open-pollinated variety, allowing gardeners to save and share true-to-type seeds. The seeds can be harvested when they turn brown and dry on the plant, typically about 3 months after planting.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
