Default Growing coriander

The message m
from (M. Tiefert) contains these words:

If it's the same thing that's called coriander in the US, it's a
biennial, like parsley. So it would be best to let it go to seed,
if you can get it to do so. Meanwhile harvest some leaves as long
as they're tender, but then stop when they get tougher.


Buy a small bag of coriander seeds and in the early spring sow them
somewhere in the sun. They thrive.


I wonder whether the coriander seed sold as a cooking ingredient (which
I've often dry roasted and ground) will germinate to produce plants?
No reason why not, I suppose. Perhaps I'll try it next spring.
