Detailed Information
While the cultivar “Santo” (Slow Bolt Cilantro) is developed and selected for its slow-bolting characteristics, which are beneficial in warmer climates, the *species* Coriandrum sativum (cilantro) is native to the **Mediterranean region and the Middle East.**
Therefore, while “Santo” can be grown in a wider range of climates thanks to its slow-bolting trait, its origins trace back to the **Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.** The slow bolting characteristic helps extend the growing season and allows cultivation in areas that traditionally struggle with cilantro bolting quickly due to heat.
