Culantro has long, serrated leaves with a stronger cilantro-like flavor and tolerates heat much better than cilantro, which bolts quickly in warm weather.

Pick the outer leaves regularly and remove flower stalks as they appear to keep the plant producing leaves.

Can I grow culantro in a container?
