Getting to know your Dill

Dill is a hardy annual herb known for its feathery green leaves, delicate yellow flowers, and strong aroma. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with full sun exposure. Dill grows between 2 to 4 feet tall and has a deep taproot, making transplanting difficult. Its leaves, commonly called dill weed, and its seeds are widely used for culinary purposes, particularly in pickling, salads, and sauces. The plant blooms in summer, producing umbrella-shaped flower clusters that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Dill prefers cool weather and often bolts in hot conditions. Regular harvesting of leaves before flowering can prolong its lifespan. As a companion plant, dill helps deter harmful pests like aphids while attracting beneficial predatory insects.
