Dill Herb Seeds for Fresh Leaves & Culinary Seed
Dill Herb Seeds grow into aromatic annual herbs with soft, feathery green foliage and delicate yellow flower heads. Both the fresh leaves and mature seeds are valued in the kitchen, making dill a versatile addition to herb gardens, vegetable beds, raised beds and large containers.
Fresh dill leaves have a light, aromatic flavour with subtle anise, citrus and grassy notes. Finely chop them into potato salads, yoghurt sauces and dressings, or pair fresh dill with fish, seafood, eggs, vegetables and pickled dishes.
Easy to Grow from Seed
Dill is best direct sown because its taproot does not appreciate unnecessary disturbance. Sow shallowly into fertile, well-drained soil, keep consistently moist during germination and grow in a sunny position protected from strong winds.
Plants can reach approximately 90cm tall, so allow enough room for their fine foliage and tall flowering stems to develop.
Fresh Dill Through the Growing Season
Begin harvesting fresh foliage once plants are well established, generally from around 55–60 days after sowing. Cut individual leaves or young stems as required while leaving enough growth for the plant to continue developing.
For a longer supply of young foliage, sow smaller batches every 2–4 weeks during suitable growing conditions.
Grow Dill for Culinary Seed
If you also want dill seed, allow selected plants to flower naturally. The delicate yellow umbels add interest to the garden and can attract visiting beneficial insects before developing into aromatic seed.
Mature seed is generally ready from around 90–100 days after sowing, depending on conditions. Harvest once the seed heads have dried and the seeds begin turning tan to brown.
Fresh Leaves & Seed for the Kitchen
Use fresh dill leaves in seafood dishes, sauces, salads, potatoes, eggs and vegetables. Mature dill seed has a stronger, warmer flavour suited to pickling, bread, spice blends and savoury cooking.
