While Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) itself is native to the **Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East** region, the specific cultivar ‘Confetti’ is a cultivated variety. This means it was developed through selective breeding from the original cilantro plant.
Therefore, while the **genetic origin** traces back to the Mediterranean/Middle East, ‘Confetti’ itself could have been developed anywhere in the world where cilantro is grown and plant breeding takes place. It’s more likely to be a location with a developed agricultural or horticultural industry, but pinpointing it exactly is very difficult without specific breeding records.
**In summary:**
* **Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum – the species):** Native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.
* **Cilantro ‘Confetti’ (the cultivar):** Developed through cultivation, likely in a region with an active agricultural/horticultural industry, but the exact origin is unknown.
