I thought Cilantro was just another name for Coriander? In the US the
words are used interchangeably, I believe.

We pretty much use 'coriander' to mean the seed-used-as-spice, and
'cilantro' for the leaves-used-as...leaves. To me, when cilantro
bolts, it produces coriander seeds. I'm pretty happy with either
nomenclature. BTW, cilantro/coriander likes sun; it's heat that
makes it bolt.
