Just remember that there are 2 main types of coriander, one which is grown
for it's leaves and the other grown for seed.
This latter one produces few leaves and runs to seed quickly, so don't be
tempted to buy Coriander "seed" in the hopes of getting a good crop of
foliage on the cheap.

You're right, but the "seed" varieties also produce well enough for a
single kitchen. They tend to have more stem and the leaves are finer, but
they do just as well.
I normally plant that sort as they're easier to get here, and yes, they do
tend to bolt(but that's what they're bred for). Keeping them shaded and
well-watered, out of direct sunlight does help a bit.
