Anethum graveolens
Dill
| In cooking, use whole or ground seeds and dry or fresh fern-like leaves. Unlike many other long-lived herbs, plants must be replaced yearly. The flattened, yarrow-like flowers attract beneficial insects such as hoverflies. Sow in place. Quickly goes to seed, so sow some every few weeks in spring for a longer supply. |
Some types are best for seed, others for leaf production. Seed varieties include 'Bouquet' and 'Long Island Mammoth'. Leaf varieties include 'Aroma', 'Dukat', 'Dura', Sari', 'Tetra', and 'Vierling'. Some available only from herb or vegetable seed catalogs.
