This aromatic herb brings a fresh, tangy flavor to pickles, salads, sauces, and seafood dishes. In the garden, dill attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies and parasitic wasps, making it a valuable companion plant for vegetables and flowers. Its feathery leaves and umbrella-like yellow flower heads add airy texture to herb beds and borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are growing dill for its leaves, seeds, or both, Dukat is a reliable and productive choice. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it can be direct-sown in spring or fall. With 500 seeds, you have plenty for successive sowings and a steady supply of fresh dill throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromatic, blue-green foliage with a rich dill flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces large, umbrella-shaped seed heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts beneficial insects and pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for fresh use, drying, and pickling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow from seed in garden beds or containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anethum graveolens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, branching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–11 (grown as an annual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect sow Dukat dill seeds outdoors after the last frost date, or in early fall in mild climates. Dill has a taproot and does not transplant well, so choose a permanent location. Scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with soil, about 1\/4 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10–14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 12–18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. Dill benefits from a light application of compost or balanced fertilizer at planting. To encourage leaf production, pinch off flower buds as they appear; to harvest seeds, allow some flower heads to mature and turn brown before collecting. Dill self-sows readily, so you may get volunteer plants in following seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Dukat dill seeds (Anethum graveolens).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835984150838,"sku":"FOLIA2-1516","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6514159948_rm75.jpg?v=1793096855","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/dukat-dill-seeds-500-anethum-graveolens-seeds-for-culinary-herb-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
