Papalo Narrow-Leaved Seeds
Non-GMO | Open-Pollinated | Mexican Culinary Herb
Papalo Narrow-Leaved is a warm-season culinary herb grown for slender aromatic leaves with a bold, cilantro-like flavor. Also known as quilquina in parts of Latin America, it thrives in summer heat and brings a distinctive fresh finish to salsa, tacos, beans, eggs, grilled meats, and salads.
The Culinary Edge
This is a chef-gardener herb for when cilantro fades in hot weather. The narrow blue-green leaves are used fresh, not cooked down, and only a small amount is needed for a bright, assertive herbal punch.
50+ Seeds per Packet
Each packet contains 50+ premium Papalo Narrow-Leaved seeds, packed for the 2026 growing season.

Growing Notes
Sow after frost once soil has warmed, or start indoors and transplant carefully after nights are reliably mild. Papalo prefers full sun, warmth, and well-drained soil. Pinch tips to encourage branching and harvest leaves regularly while plants are young and tender.
In The Kitchen
Use fresh leaves as a finishing herb over salsa, tacos, beans, rice bowls, grilled meats, eggs, and salads. Start with a light hand: papalo has a stronger personality than cilantro and is best added at the end.
