1 plant survived and is now 0.6metres high and producing stalky

Is this normal as my wifes Indian Cookery books describe it as a very
low growing plant? *


Were conditions dry? The fact that only one survived suggested a
problem. I haven't seen such tall stalky growth. in coriander. But
then,it is usually picked when soft and leafy.
I wonder if it has bolted and started to flower and go to seed. that
happened to me one year when it was very dry.


0.6m seems about par for the course to me for a plant gone to seed.

Incidentally, the flowers and seeds are great bits of the plant
to eat ;-)
