I'm a flower gardener so I am not sure, but I posted the planting instructions on another comment here.

how do you start these out?

I got these instructions from the collective roots website. Plant Cilantro about 1" apart, 1/4" deep. Each seed has multiple plants so thin as it sprouts. Cilantro will rapidly go to flower (bolt) in warm weather, so plant during a cool season.

Harvest individual cilantro leaves of the base of the stems. Just make sure the plant is big enough to cope and leave some leaves on it so it can continue to grow.

Sooner or later your cilantro plants will flower. Once they start developing that flower stalk they stop making more leaves. Therefore it is a good idea to re-sow cilantro every few weeks during the growing season. That way you never run out.

I think cilantro is hard to grow from a plant, I am afraid these would die on me.
