Honest review: Cilantro is rewarding but bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro is real

Cilantro is a genuinely satisfying plant to grow, but I want to be upfront about one thing: bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro. I've dealt with it twice now and it takes consistent attention to manage.

Beyond that, aromatic foliage that intensifies in heat makes it one of my favourites in the collection. I keep it in a hanging basket with trailing herbs like thyme which suits it well. Learning about planting in free-draining soil in the sunniest spot has been essential. sowing and planting out after last frost in spring is worth waiting for — the plant really justifies itself then. Four stars because of that persistent issue.
