Kaple (Coriandrum sativum 'African Blue') A heat-tolerant cilantro/coriander variety developed for tropical growing conditions. Seeds germinate within 7-14 days at temperatures of 65-75°F and remain viable for 2 years. Plant 1/4 inch deep with 6-inch spacing in zones 8-11 or in succession plantings in cooler regions. This aromatic herb matures in 35-45 days for leaf harvest or 90-100 days for seed production. Demonstrates improved bolting resistance in high temperatures. Special characteristics include distinctive citrus-mint flavor profile, slower transition to flowering stage than standard varieties, exceptional essential oil content in seeds, substantial taproot for soil improvement, and ability to self-seed moderately in favorable conditions.
