Herbs – Dill – Bouquet

4008 Anethum graveolens

Annual. 45 days leaf, 90 days seed.
Dill is an ancient cultivated herb originating in the Mediterranean region. The earliest archeological evidence for the cultivation of dill date back to the Neolithic, and it was also found in tombs of ancient Egypt.
Bouquet is a popular, robust variety that grows 2-3 feet tall. Lacy, dark green leaves; large, 6-inch wide yellow flower heads.
Like coriander, dill is used both for its leaves and seed. Its feathery leaves are full of aroma and flavour, and this herb is a great attractor of parasitic wasps (the good guys!) if left to flower.
Dill does best in the ground (it tends to get a little spindly in containers). Snip off young leaves and use fresh. Allow the plants to form seed heads for dill pickles.
Attracts pollinators and predatory insects, helps control pests.
