Definitely sow this direct and don't transplant. It has a deep tap root that hates being disturbed and it'll bolt straight to seed.

If I sow coriander in smal plasti punnetts and transplant at an early stage will that be alright.

I bought coriander in a punnet and transplanted it into soil. Will the coriander still grow?

I've had some sucess planting coriander seeds in cardboard egg cartons undercover, then simply burying the carton in moist soil. The carton seems to just disintegrate so the roots don't know they've been transplanted
