Herb Description and Taste

 CILANTRO VS. CORIANDER

Cilantro and coriander are different parts of the same plant.

Cilantro, usually refers to the leaves of the plant, which are used as an herb.

Coriander refers to the seeds, which are typically ground and used as a spice.

This herb is used to flavor many recipes and the entire plant is edible, though the leaves and seeds are used most often.

• Once the plants are established, they do not need as much water per week. Keep them moist, but be careful not to overwater them.

Herb Description and Taste

This mint, rather than spearmint, gives the authentic mojito taste. Mojito Mint has a much milder flavor. While recipes call for any available variety of Spearmint, the real mojito can only be made with the true Mojito Mint.

Mint plants need about 1 to 2 inches of water every week, depending on the conditions. This includes both rain and your supplemental watering.

• Full sun to part shade

Herb Description and Taste

Both the flowers and leaves can be eaten and have a pleasant yet slightly bitter flavor. Lavender is most often used as a condiment, added to dishes to enhance the flavor, just like a spice.

The plant is not picky and will survive in a wide range of soil, even poor soil. Its main requirements are lots of sun and also good drainage.

• Water once or twice a week after planting until plants are established. Water mature plants every two to three weeks until buds form, then once or twice weekly until harvest.
