Common Name:  Dill
Botanical Name : Anethum graveolens 

Dill combines the two flavors and smells of parsley and caraway into one herb! The cooling, aromatic foliage and seeds are used in a wide range of dishes, especially those with eggs, potatoes, fish, and pickling cucumbers. Plant Dill in well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil in full sun. Do not plant near carrots, as they react adversely. However, cabbage seems to like dill nearby. Dill flowers also attract beneficial insects that prey on aphids.



Pick the leaves and harvest the seeds!
