Dill is an aromatic culinary herb known for its feathery aromatic foliage and umbels that feed beneficial insects. Dill flowers in summer in shades of yellow, and performs best in full sun with low watering once established. This herb matures to roughly 2-4 feet tall and 12-18 inches wide. It is ideal for herb gardens, raised beds, and containers near the kitchen door, offering fresh flavour within reach of the kitchen. Easy to establish and straightforward to maintain, Dill rewards basic care with a reliable display season after season. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
