Attractive to pollinatorsPerfect for cuttingBest SellerRecommended
    We are often asked about this particular variety of Dill, often known as Florist’s Dill, because it is particularly good for cutting, being more robust with tighter umbels of flowers than others. We visited a local flower farm where they love using it in their arrangements. It is compact and hardy and like other varieties, is easy to grow and beautifully fragrant. 2ft (60cm)

    Tall plants with long stems make these perfect for cutting and adding to flower arrangements. Needs staking. Better grown in the ground than in pots. Goes with any colour, enhances any kind of bouquet.

    This is ridiculously easy to grow and made my border look like a bouquet all summer long. Despite being tall, it withstood strong winds and rain. Really lovely plant.

    Germination Instructions

    Sow indoors any time of year. Sow outside successionally from spring. Sow seeds in clumps in 8cm pots. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost, just cover with soil. Keep well watered. Light is required for germination. Transplant to larger pots when 15cm tall. Place in a bright position out of direct sunlight. Can be sown directly into well prepared soil which has been dug to 45cm depth with added bonemeal. Sow thinly and cover with a fine layer of soil. Germination takes 14 days approx. Thin to 25cm.

    Growing Instructions

    May require staking. Needs full sun, even partial shade will reduce the yield. Once established it should only require watering in very dry conditions. Easy to grow.

    Cultivation Instructions

    This Dill is grown primarily for its ornamental value however the plant can still be used for culinary purposes. To harvest the leaves/ fronds simply snip the fronds at the point where they are coming from the stalk. For foliage production remove any flowers as these will cause leaf production to cease. If growing for seed allow flowers to open and brown before trimming off and drying seed.
