Product description
This culinary herb boasts a unique flavour, which is complemented by its highly aromatic foliage. The strong flavour is particularly well suited to curries, stir fries, soups and noodle dishes but can also be used sparingly to add nuance to salads. Leaves are best used fresh and the younger ones tend to be the most flavoursome. Add the leaves towards the end of cooking for best results.
Also known as Persicaria odorata, Vietnamese Coriander enjoys a sheltered, sunny spot in moist but free-draining soil. It can succumb to frost quite easily, so bring it inside for winter to prolong harvesting. Coriander Vietnamese works well in pots and containers, making it easy to move around with the sun and the seasons.
Striking foliage and a spreading habit make Coriander Vietnamese an attractive addition to any kitchen garden. Burgundy chevron markings decorate the long lance shaped leaves and, if you’re lucky, you may notice spikes of tiny pink flowers blossom as autumn approaches.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Remove flower stems as soon as they appear for a longer leaf harvesting season.
How to Water
Water regularly, particularly during dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and don’t let the soil dry out completely.
How to Plant
Water the plant well and dig a generous hole in moist but well-draining soil, either in the ground or in a container. Position the plant in the hole and backfill with soil and compost, gently firming down as you go, then water thoroughly.
