Lovely to use as ornamental planting and as like baby's breath in floral bouquets.
*These are heirloom dill seeds, so be sure to allow a few plants to flower then go to seed to be able to collect more seeds for future planting. These particular seeds come from plants that are at least 20 years old.
Directions state that dill is an annual plant that begins to grow in spring. I reside in southern California and I can plant these during autumn and winter months as well. They don't fare during late Spring or Summer here in southern California.
Plant Type: Annual
When to Sow Outside: In spring, after the last frost. Continue to sow every 2 - 3 weeks until hot weather sets in to assure a constant supply of fresh foliage and seeds.

Days to Emerge: 20 - 25
Thinning: When 3" tall, thin to 12 " apart.
Companion Planting: Don't plant dill near carrots or tomatoes, give them each some room because dill can have negative effects on them both.
I'm not much of a canner but, I love to use fresh herbs for cooking! It's much easier to freeze herbs instead of drying them. The flavour bounces back after freezing herbs unlike drying process.
*Be sure to cut back dill herb as so, the herb will replenish; otherwise, your dill will get a bit woody.
