Perennial Coriander (Erygium foetidum)
A sub tropical perennial with a strong coriander flavour. Can also be known as Mexican or sawtooth corainder or Cilantro
An easy to use herb that enhances other herbs and when added late in the cooking will lift the other flavours in the dish. The leaves have a strong flavour that is loved by many and disliked by some , so do not overuse. They are a bit tougher than normal coriander so should be finely chopped. The seed heads can be made into a paste which is good for laksa, curries and stirfrys, and the roots have some healing properties.
This medium sized herb likes/ needs a warm environment. If it has good drainage it will perform well in humid conditions. It does not not like the cold and wet.
Pick leaves as needed and give regular applications of maxicrop to keep the plant healthy and producing well.
