Growing Bouquet Dill in the Herb Garden
Sow Bouquet Dill seeds about 0.25 inches deep. It can be direct sown in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked or started indoors 8-10 weeks before transplanting. Space plants 4-6 inches apart, with rows 12 inches apart for optimal growth.
This dill variety prefers well-drained soil and full sun. Maintain regular watering, but avoid waterlogging. It benefits from companion planting with vegetables by repelling pests and attracting pollinators. Thin plants when they reach about 3 inches tall to encourage healthy growth.
Harvesting of Bouquet Dill
Harvest fresh foliage once plants reach about 12 inches tall by snipping leaves close to the stem. Seeds can be harvested 2-3 weeks after flowering when the seed heads turn golden brown. Cut flower heads, place them in a paper bag, and allow seeds to fall for collection and storage.
Dill is often brewed into a tea and is touted for being rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and A, and magnesium.
About Bouquet Dill Garden Seeds
Bouquet Dill is an early-flowering annual herb native to the Mediterranean and West Asia regions.
It was bred to have large seed umbels and dark green foliage, making it ideal for pickling and cut-flower use.
This variety produces an abundant crop with strongly aromatic foliage and edible seeds, prized for culinary use and attracting beneficial insects like pollinators and butterflies.

"Dill is also an important host plant for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars, making it a valuable addition to butterfly gardens and supporting local pollinator populations."
