Herb Dill Bouquet is a premium heirloom variety prized for robust, aromatic foliage and a distinctive anise-like flavor. This non-GMO seed produces bushy, prolific plants with delicate, feathery blue-green fronds for fresh harvesting, drying, and preservation. Bouquet is especially valued for heavy frond production before bolting, making it an excellent choice for fresh herbs, pickling, seafood dishes, and the pollinator garden. As flowers develop, the flat yellow umbels attract beneficial insects and add airy beauty to the garden. Harvest fresh fronds in approximately 40–60 days and seed heads in about 70–85 days.

Germination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 8/25. OSI.

Texas minimum germination standard: None.

Culinary Uses

• Dill Pickles: Add fresh fronds and seed heads to cucumber jars and other tested pickling recipes for classic dill flavor.
• Fish and Seafood: Pair fresh dill with salmon, trout, shrimp, and other seafood in sauces, marinades, and herb crusts.
• Dips and Dressings: Blend fresh dill into tzatziki, yogurt sauces, sour cream dips, ranch dressing, and vinaigrettes.
• Egg Dishes: Add chopped fronds to scrambled eggs, omelets, deviled eggs, and egg salad.
• Potatoes and Vegetables: Toss fresh dill with boiled potatoes, roasted vegetables, grains, and beans for bright herbal flavor.
• Drying: Hang cut stems in a warm, dry place and store the dried herb in an airtight container for later use.

Medicinal Uses

Traditional herbal use: Dill has a long history as a culinary herb and in traditional preparations for digestive comfort. These traditional uses are not medical advice. Dill is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and anyone with health concerns should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Growing Directions

• Sunlight: Grow in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of light per day for vigorous growth and aromatic fronds.
• Soil: Use well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH of about 5.5–6.5. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Planting: Direct sow outdoors after the last frost. Dill develops a long taproot and does not transplant well. Sow about ¼ inch deep.
• Succession Sowing: Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh fronds, especially in areas with hot summers.
• Spacing: Sow about 18 inches apart or thin seedlings to 12–18 inches apart. Dill may self-sow where seed heads are allowed to mature.
• Watering: Water moderately until established, then keep soil evenly moist without overwatering. Hot, dry stress can encourage bolting.
• Fertilizing: Dill is a light feeder. A single balanced fertilizer application at planting is generally sufficient; excess nitrogen can reduce flavor intensity.
• Harvesting: Snip outer fronds as needed while leaving the central growing point intact. Harvest seed heads when they turn brown and begin to dry on the plant.
• Pollinator Support: Allow some plants to flower for yellow umbels that attract butterflies and beneficial insects, including Black Swallowtail caterpillars.
