I thought Cilantro was just another name for Coriander? In the US the
words are used interchangeably, I believe.
No advice from me on how to stop it from bolting. We use a lot in salads,
and so do several plantings. I've still got about a kg of seed frozen
from
last year, in spite of using it at nearly every opportunity...
Coriander, cilantro or Chinese parsley are one in the same and it bolts
during warm temperatures coupled with longer days. Pinching the beginning
seed heads helps little; new seed head shoots appear over night. Just enjoy
it fresh and try some in pots with morning sun only; it might work for you.
I never was successful but living in the South, summer morning sun is hot.
