Vietnamese coriander

[hamsterqueen]

any idea where I could buy some Vietnamese coriander plants?

I had 2 last year, but my son didn't water them when I was away and I only have 1 sickly specimen left. I've become mildly addicted to the flavour, especially in vietnamese/thai soups. I bought mine last year at the Gardeners world roadshow at NEC, but forgot which company it was.

Google searches seem to come up with some leads, but then there are none availabole this year

Any leads gratefully received!

They're selling it everywhere round here- even the corner shop has it!

I think it grows OK from cuttings, could maybe try from the dodgy plant? I could post you a cutting if the survivor is too dodgy and you're really stuck- I'd like to try it too.

Its very easy to grow from cuttings. Just put them in water and off it goes!

I got some a few years ago from a farmers' market but lost in when I left it in the greenhouse over winter and it was too cold. Am pretty sure I've seen it at garden centers in the past too so worth a look.

thanks!

I found one via ebay in the end, from Candlesby Herbs. Will try a cutting from my old plant ( and maybe the new one) I'll let you know how I get on

plants arrived this afternoon. 3 plants, relatively healthy looking. Just potting them up.

I also bought one from the Gardeners world and the company was called Growing old - the walled gardens, East Pennard. Dont seem to have a website but their email is Sales@pennardplants.com and phone -01749860039.
Unfortunately mine died - lack of water I think so I am hoping to buy another this year or some seeds

Growing vietnames coriander

I bought my second lot of eBay. First one last year died when we had the cold winters even though I had brought it indoors.
Second lot arrived fine and I put it in the soil, watered it but its not looking as healthy as when it arrived. Just cut some off the top and have put it in water. Keeping fingers crossed that it does well.
Any tips?
