When to plant coriander in Darwin
Honest answer: coriander is a poor fit for Darwin. Coriander can't handle the heat in your area — temperatures exceed 28°C for too much of the year. If you're set on trying, treat it as an experiment — a sheltered microclimate or pots you can move may stretch the rules.
