Heat-Tolerant, Bolt-Resistant Culinary Herb

Caribe Cilantro is a superior variety of Coriandrum sativum, prized for its exceptional bolt resistance and heat tolerance. This fast-growing annual herb reaches maturity in just 40–55 days, producing an abundance of flavorful, aromatic foliage. Caribe stands out from other cilantro varieties with its ability to handle warmer temperatures, making it an ideal choice for gardeners in diverse climates.

The Caribe variety provides a dependable supply of fresh cilantro throughout the growing season. Its robust growth habit ensures plenty of excellent cooking foliage, perfect for a wide range of culinary uses. The leaves offer the classic cilantro flavor profile—a bright, citrusy, slightly peppery note that enhances dishes across cuisines such as Mexican, Thai, Indian, and more.

Caribe Cilantro thrives in full sun but performs well with partial shade, growing to a height of 12–18 inches. For best results, plant directly into well-drained soil at a shallow depth, with plants spaced 12–18 inches apart. Thanks to its improved bolt resistance, this variety offers an extended harvest window. Planting new batches every 2–3 weeks will ensure a continual supply of fresh leaves throughout the season.

Growing Success Tips:

  • Plant outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked

  • Keep soil consistently moist during early growth

  • Harvest leaves regularly to encourage a fuller, bushier plant

  • Provide afternoon shade in hot climates to extend the harvest

Caribe Cilantro is an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners seeking a versatile, easy-to-grow herb. Its enhanced heat tolerance and bolt resistance make it a reliable performer even in challenging growing conditions.

For the freshest flavor and strongest aroma, harvest leaves in the morning once the dew has dried but before temperatures rise.
