Coriandre

Coriandrum sativum
Une plante annuelle de saison chaude de la famille des carottes cultivée dans les jardins d'herbes aromatiques pour deux récoltes distinctes issues d'un même pied : le feuillage dentelé au parfum prononcé, récolté jeune comme coriandre fraîche, et la graine aromatique séchée récoltée comme épice. La plante monte rapidement en graines par temps chaud, produisant de belles ombelles blanc à lavande pâle avec un dimorphisme foliaire marqué — les feuilles basales larges et festonnées laissent place à un feuillage fin et filiforme sur les tiges florales. Rapide et facile à partir d'un semis direct, elle se prête mieux à une culture en succession pour assurer une récolte régulière de feuilles avant que la chaleur ne déclenche la montée en graines.

Cold hardiness

Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.
Now
Zone 6b

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.

Heat tolerance

Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
