Mexican Coriander PLANT – Perennial Coriander – Sawtooth Coriander – Culantro – Heirloom & Untreated – Eryngium foetidum

Mexican coriander is an aromatic, evergreen perennial herb that can be used in cooking similarly to the popular true coriander. It offers numerous health benefits and is widely used in traditional medicine. This hardy herb thrives in hot and humid summer conditions and prefers a semi-shaded position in the garden. It can also be grown successfully in a pot and must be protected from frost.

Interesting facts about Eryngium foetidum: ” The species is widely used as a flavoring condiment in beans, meat, duck, and fish, and in the preparation of tucupi (cassava sap), showing to have great importance for the Amazonian food culture. In traditional medicine, it has analgesic, antibacterial, antiflu, and antipyretic applications. (Rodrigues et.al, 2022)”.

Planting and growing tips:

  1. Give it a good drink and place it in a half-shade position out of the wind.
  2. Leave it in the original pot for a few days until it recovers from the journey.
  3. Re-pot or plant into the ground at the latest when the roots start to come out of the bottom holes.
  4. Watering straight after planting is essential! From then on as required.
  5. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.
  6. It grows best in full sun and partial shade and in many types of soil, however, the better the soil, the quicker and better the plant will grow.

Additional notes:

  • The price is for one young plant supplied in a small pot, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia. Sending within Australia only, not to NORFOLK ISLAND, NT, SA, TAS, or WA. Pick up by appointment only.
  • The image of the potted plants is just an example.
  • Most of our nursery plants grow in a half-shade. Introducing them to the sun slowly before replanting them to their permanent position will promote healthy growth.
  • Do your research before trying any new foods. Please also note our disclaimer in the footer of this page
