Dill Growing Tips and Advice

Dill or dillweed, a popular annual, loves fertile garden soil and lots of sun. Dill is night-length sensitive, so your dill and its flowers will grow steadily if you plant seeds in the early spring.

Here's a kit with everything you need to get started with organic herb gardening from Clean Air Gardening.

Planting Dill, also known as Dillweed

Each dill plant is a single stem; you only need to plant seeds about a half inch deep and 4-8 inches apart. Be sure to plant seeds after all danger of frost has passed. The stem grows as tall as 2-4 feet about two months after you sow the seeds. For best results, pick leaves just as flowers open. Pick seeds when they are flat and brown. Dill has a taproot and does not transplant easily.

Days to Harvest: When seeds ripen.
Days to Germinate: 10-15

Make use of your dill in salad or salmon recipes.
