Soil Planting And Care

Grow cilantro in full sun and welldrained soil with a pH of 6.2 to 6.8; it will tolerate light shade in the South and Southwest where the sun is intense. In the South and Southwest, plant 12 to 18 inches apart in the fall or the spring about a month before the last frost.Cilantro frequently self sows. As seeds fall to the ground, little plants often come up during the season and the following spring.
