Slow Bolt Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) 'Santo' is an attractive, lacy-leaved, long-stemmed aromatic herb that produces small white flowers in late spring and early summer. The flowers give way to coriander seeds. The plant dies back after dropping its seeds, around midsummer. Cilantro is a useful companion plant for the garden, attracting beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings, parasitic mini-wasps, and hoverflies. Cilantro also helps to repel aphids.
