Q.What Does It Mean To Allow A Plant To Bolt?
I am a beginner at starting an herb garden this year and thinking of planting cilantro. One of the growing tips spoke about allowing the plant to “bolt” and then the plant would likely return next year. I am unfamiliar with that term.

It means let it flower and go to seed.
