The listing, Cilantro seeds has ended.

Cilantro is used in different dishes, particularly Mexican and Asian dishes.
TIPS: To growing Cilantro
The seed husk is hard, round and is light brown or grey in color. Before you plant them in the ground, you need to prepare the cilantro seeds Gently crush the seed husk holding the two seeds together. Soak the cilantro seeds in water for 24 – 48 hours. Remove from the water and allow to dry.Once you have prepared the cilantro seeds, you need to plant the seeds. You can
either start cilantro indoors or out doors. If you are starting the seeds indoors, you will be transplanting
cilantro to the outdoors later on.

Put the seeds in the soil and then cover them with about a 1/4 inch layer of soil. Leave the cilantro growing until
it is at least 2 inches tall. At this time, thin the cilantro to be about 3-4 inches apart. You want to be growing
cilantro in crowded conditions because the leaves will shade the roots and help to keep the plant from bolting in
hot weather.The most important thing to remember when growing cilantro is that it does not like hot weather.
You should be growing cilantro where it will get early morning or late afternoon sun, but be shaded during the hottest part of the day.
Even with ideal cilantro growing conditions, this is a short
lived herb. Taking the time to prune cilantro frequently will help delay bolting but no mater how much you prune
cilantro it will still eventually bolt. Plant new seeds about every 6 weeks to keep a steady supply throughout the
growing season.
Cilantro will also reseed in many zones. Once the cilantro plant bolts, let it go to seed and it will grow again
for you next year. Or collect the cilantro seeds and use them as coriander in your cooking.

Cilantro is probably my favorite herb/spice (not sure which : ) ). I've tried to grow it but I may be crowding them because the stems seem very frail and fall over. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I would like to try again.

Falling over seems like you are either not watering enough or they are getting too hot. Does the leaves turn yellow?

No the leaves were still green but the stems seem like they need support--a mini stake or something. Maybe the soil that came with the kit I got didn't have any nutrients?
