Vietnamese Coriander
Attractive trailing stems of arrow-shaped, green leaves with maroon chevrons are more durable inthe garden and can besubstituted for cilantro. A useful herb that retains its flavor when dried and that won't bolt, like Cilantro! Cut back repeatedly for fresh new leaves as older leaves become tough and bitter. (Herb)
