A seed worth growing
The all-purpose dill for leaves, seed, pickles and bouquets.
Bouquet is the most widely grown dill, with good yields of both leaf and seed. It flowers early, with big umbels on long stems, which makes it a favorite for cut-flower bunches and for pickling.
Sown thickly, it is also a quick, economical baby-leaf crop. Leaves (dill weed), flowers and seeds are all edible: use them in sauces, soups, salads and potato salad, or break the flower heads into florets for cheese spreads and omelets.
Leaves in about 40–45 days; seed in 85–105 days. The flowers attract beneficial insects.

Know before you sow
Growing times vary with weather, soil and local conditions.
Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked, 1/8–1/4" deep and 1/4–1/2" apart; no thinning needed.
Sow again every 3 weeks for a steady supply of leaves; full sun, light rich soil.
Harvest foliage any time before flowering; dry it in the dark to keep color and flavor.
Cut seed heads as the seeds start turning golden brown and dry them.
7–21 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).
Start in early spring, once the bed is workable. Place seeds 1/4–1/2" apart and 1/8–1/4" deep, keeping rows 3" or more apart; there is no need to thin. Repeat the sowing every 3 weeks to keep fresh leaves coming.
For an indoor start, drop 3–5 seeds into each pot or cell. Set the clumps out 2–4" apart, with rows 4" or more apart.
Full sun.
Varies by variety.
1/4–1/2" for leaf crops.
Grown as an annual.
Snip leaves whenever plants are big enough, right up until they bloom. For seed, take the heads once the seeds are changing to golden brown. Leaves and seed both dry well for storage; dry leaves away from light so they keep their color and taste.
Grows in most soils but does best in rich, light ground.
