Coriander 'Calypso'

Coriander 'Calypso' is an exceptional variety specifically bred for UK gardeners, prized for its slow-bolting habit and extended harvesting period of fragrant leaves. Unlike traditional coriander, 'Calypso' is more heat-tolerant, meaning it remains leafy for longer, providing a continuous supply of its distinctive, citrusy flavour for curries, salads, and many other global cuisines. The delicate white-pink flowers are also attractive to pollinators. It benefits from fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny spot, though it appreciates some partial shade in the hottest part of summer. Regular sowing every few weeks will ensure a steady supply of fresh leaves.
