PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dill is an easy-to-grow and popular herb. Both dill seeds and greens (also known as dill weed) can flavour a wide range of foods. This aromatic annual can be grown for its seeds or its rich, aniseed flavoured foliage that complements fish dishes particularly well. The feathery dill leaves make an attractive addition to a sunny herb garden. This easy to grow herb is tolerant of most conditions and requires little maintenance.
How to grow Dill from seeds
Direct sow dill seeds outdoors from March to July into well prepared soil in full sun. Sow seeds thinly into drills 1cm deep and 15cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Make regular sowings for a successional harvest.
Dill can also be sown at 20C on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite and place in a propagator, or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination. Do not exclude light as this will aid germination. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 5cm apart. Gradually acclimatize dill plants to outdoor conditions over 7 – 10 days before planting outdoors on well drained soil in full sun when all risk of frost has passed.
