Anyone tried growing it? I haven't had much success with cilantro, and
only learned of (and sampled) culantro last week. Good stuff!

I love cilantro, it is best fresh from a plant. Be careful not to let
it dry out or get too hot. Eventually it will get seeds and turn into
coriander! So you have a dual purpose herb.

Look up Culantro (note the spelling).

It's not cilantro.

Following up on my own post...

Culantro - Eryngium foetidum

Cilantro - Coriandrum sativum

They're cousins and get mistaken for each other.



Now I have to get back to working on the spring herb order.

Yeah... It's November and I have spring on my mind.
