Santo Cilantro
Growing Santo Cilantro
‘Santo’ is an open-pollinated cilantro prized for its abundant leaf production, upright growth, and slow-bolting habit. Developed especially for fresh foliage, this productive variety provides a generous harvest of aromatic leaves that are easy to cut and use in the kitchen.
Start ‘Santo’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 3 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety performs especially well during mild growing conditions.
Ready to begin harvesting in about 52 days, cut fresh foliage as needed before plants begin flowering.
Fresh, aromatic, and productive, ‘Santo’ is excellent for salsa, tacos, salads, garnishes, sauces, and everyday cooking.
