Perennial Coriander (Eryngium foetidum)
Perennial coriander (Eryngium foetidum), also known as culantro, sawtooth herb, or long coriander, is a hardy tropical herb that grows 30–45 cm tall and 20–30 cm wide, forming a lush rosette of deeply serrated, aromatic leaves.
It thrives in warm, humid conditions, preferring partial shade, rich well-drained soil, and regular watering, making it an easy-care choice for gardens or pots in subtropical climates.
Prized for its bold, cilantro-like flavour that intensifies when cooked, it’s widely used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian dishes, and is more heat-tolerant and slower to bolt than common coriander.
Supplied in a 100mm pot.
