Dill Bouquet Organic Seed - Anethum - graveolens
Annual. This organic dill is the most widely grown variety. Bouquet dill has early, large seed heads, making it an excellent choice for pickling. Its fresh foliage is wonderful on new potatoes, tomatoes, grilled salmon, spinach, green beans, cucumbers, squash, and lamb chops. The robust, but airy plants reach 30"-36" tall and have 6” wide yellow umbel-shaped flowers. Be sure to plant extra for the Swallowtail butterflies! Their caterpillars love dill (along with parsley, fennel, and carrot foliage).
When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. Spring, after the average last frost. Successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until hot weather will assure a continual fresh supply of foliage and seeds.
When to start inside: Not recommended. Dill does not transplant well.
Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: Seed required light to germinate. Press into soil surface and mist or water lightly very regularly. When the dill plant flowers in summer, it uses a lot of energy; the foliage usually suffers. Successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until hot weather will allow you to have fresh foliage and seed on a regular basis.
Harvesting: Fresh foliage can be harvested anytime until the plant flowers. Cut leaves as close to the stem as possible. Seeds should be harvested 2-3 weeks after flowering begins. Cut flower heads wit hstem and place in a paper bag BEFORE the seed becomes too mature and falls to the ground. Heads should be placed in the bottom of the bag and the top of the bag should be tied shut around the stems (so seeds will fall to the bottom of the bag). When completely dry, store seeds in an airtight glass jar.
