Snip tender leaves for salsa, pico de gallo, salads, soups, curries, and noodle bowls, enjoying the lively aroma as you chop a handful on your cutting board. Imagine gathering fresh cilantro before dinner, tossing it with ripe tomatoes, onion, and lime, and serving a bowl of colorful garden pico de gallo alongside your favorite meal. Calypso is a useful choice for cooks who want generous foliage and gardeners who appreciate a longer leafy stage before flowering. Slow-bolting does not mean bolt-proof: warm weather and growing conditions still influence flowering, so cool-season planting and successive sowings help keep fresh leaves coming. Grow it in a well-drained bed or container close to the kitchen for convenient harvesting. These non-GMO, heirloom seeds are for planting and growing your own culinary herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #006400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 95%. Test Date: 2\/26.
