Cilantro that is cut back entirely will eventually grow back, but we recommend cutting just what you need at a time to encourage robust growth. If cilantro is grown under ideal conditions with regular harvests, the same plant will keep producing for many weeks.

Will cilantro grow back every year?

Is cilantro an annual or perennial? Cilantro is an annual, though it may survive the winter in mild climates. However, if you allow a few of the seeds to drop from the mature plant once it flowers, new cilantro plants may sprout when temperatures cool down in the fall.

Do cilantro plants keep producing?

Cilantro grows as an annual herb in most climates, specifically 2 to 11, according to Missouri Botanical Garden. You can use both its leaves and seeds, which you can grind into the spice coriander. If harvested carefully, your cilantro will keep producing leaves throughout the growing season.
