Culantro

Aroma and taste similar to cilantro, but dries well maintaining its taste and color.  Blade-like leaves ½ – ¾ inch wide and up to 4 inches long.  Biennial herb indigenous to the American tropics and West Indies.  Does best in well-irrigated shaded conditions which promotes larger and greener leaves.  Tends to bolt under hot, sunny conditions.  Biennial.
