Will bolt (go to seed) very quickly. Coriander as a green herb is a very difficult plant to get right. Better left to professionals imo. Sure, grow it for seed in that position.
You might have better luck with about half a dozen pots, and grow a small quantity in each. You’ll need to feed and water them every day and harvest the INSTANT a potful is ready. Then replant that pot. Lots of maintenance for minimal reward imo.
I’ll eat bolted coriander rather than pay $3 for the shitty little morsel you get at supermarkets in a plastic case - thankfully there’s other grocers around selling them loose in larger bunches.
personal experience has shown me that jamming it in a pot with a dripper and then ignoring it because IDGAF about coriander and it’s His Lordship’s business results in a three foot high bush that keeps producing.

Top advice here. I find coriander goes like this:
It’s like avocados that ripen the second you look away. Or Eddie Izzard’s sketch about pears… https://youtu.be/KxUD57NFLcU?si=J5WOxBl9L_opmGWW&t=330
My experience exactly. Mongrel stuff.
Thank you for that.
We’ve all been there - coriander is exxy and doesn’t keep so we try to grow it. Then we find out what a fussy little bastard the plant is.

I chop it up and freeze in ice cubes. Not good for a salad herb but fine for salsa etc.
