How tall do these dill plants grow and what do they look like?

The plants reach around 75 cm in height, with tall, slender stems and fine, feathery foliage. They produce airy yellow flower umbels that add decorative structure to borders, beds, and mixed planters.

Are these dill seeds suitable for pots and small spaces?

Yes, these dill seeds are especially suited for pots, containers, and compact spaces such as balconies or window boxes. They thrive in light, sunny spots and fit well among other herbs in mixed planters and decorative borders.

When should I sow these dill seeds?

Sow the seeds directly outdoors from April to July in light, sunny positions or in containers. This timing supports steady growth and allows for a long harvest window from July to September.

How do I sow and space the dill seeds?

Prepare fine, loose soil and scatter the seeds thinly in shallow rows, then cover them lightly with soil and water gently. Avoid dense sowing; if seedlings appear crowded, thin them so each plant has enough room to develop its slender, airy structure.

What growing conditions does dill prefer?

Dill prefers a sunny, light position and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in pots and containers, and provide some shelter from strong winds to protect the delicate stems and flower heads.

How can I harvest and use the dill from these seeds?

You can harvest the young, lush leaves between July and September by cutting stems and foliage regularly, which also encourages fresh growth. The leaves have a distinctive, mild flavour that pairs well with fish, sauces, salads, dips, and dressings, while the yellow umbels and seed heads look attractive in cut bouquets and naturalistic plantings.
