Dill – Bouquet

Heirloom.
This variety is the most widely grown variety of dill. Very aromatic early to flower with small yellow flowers clustered in umbrels. Excellent dill for pickling. The fresh green foliage is wonderful sprinkled on potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, green beans, and squash, or added to soups, casseroles, stews and more. Leaves can be dried and sealed in an airtight container for later use. Easy to grow. Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars love dill, so plant extra for them. Delicious seasoning!
Sowing: In the spring after the last frost until hot weather sets in press seed into soil surface. Plant in full sun. It is not recommended to pre-start as it does not transplant well. For continuous supply of seeds and foliage succession sow every 2-3 weeks until hot weather sets in.
Can also be grown indoors.
Spacing: Plant spacing 12 inches. Row spacing 2 feet apart. Height: 30-36 inches
Moisture: water regularly Soil: Grows in most soil types in U.S. Germination: 7-21 days

Information: Fresh foliage can be harvested anytime until the plants flower, by cutting the leaves as close to the stem as possible. Seeds should be harvested 2-3 weeks after flowering begins, before seeds fall to the ground. Cut flower heads with stem and place heads in the botttom of a paper bag. Tie shut around the stem. Seeds will fall to the bottom of the bag. When they are completely dry, store seeds in an airtight container.
