Want to grow your own cilantro? It’s easy! Just place coriander seeds in a pot with miracle gro garden soil and cilantro will be born! This cilantro is the result of 6 coriander seeds. Even though the flowers look great, cilantro should not grow to this point because the white flowers make the cilantro bitter. Time to give this cilantro a trim!
