Cruiser Monogerm Cilantro/Coriander Seed
Split seeds, bolt-resistant variety.
Split seeds for precise planting. Whole cilantro "seeds" are typically fruits that contain two or more seeds. These monogerm seeds have been split in half, allowing for more precise planting. Flavor is of mild cilantro. Compared to Calypso, Cruiser has a tidier, more upright plant habit and similar, excellent bolt resistance. Large leaves and sturdy stems make it an ideal bunching variety for fresh-market sales. Utility Patent #9,363,958.Specs:
