dill
dill or Anethum graveolens
A particularly fine-flavoured variety of dill that's well known for its generous leaf production, selected to produce more foliage before running to seed than most. Dill provides a delicious flavouring to pickles or with vegetables, salads and other culinary dishes, and the pretty, feathery foliage looks at home anywhere in the garden, making a lovely foil to your flowers. If it is allowed to flower, then these can be eaten too and have a similar flavour to the leaves.
How to care for Anethum graveolens:
Choose a well-drained, sunny spot and avoid ground likely to become overly wet during the winter. Plants may need additional support from canes. An occasional general-purpose liquid fertiliser can give plant a boost. Plants can ‘bolt’ and quickly run to flower if not kept watered during hot weather.
