Culantro

Has anyone grown Culantro/Recao? It is an herb similar in taste to Cilantro but stronger. It has long jagged leaves. I have never grown it before, but would like to try this year to make Sofrito and Recaito. I usually just use Cilantro. I am still trying to figure out the best place to grow herbs. I tried growing some in a flower bed out front but they didn't fair well. I didn't harden them off, so I think they got too much sun. I have heard Culantro does best in partial shade.
Anyone have any experience with this herb???

Thanks,
Tyffanie
