Bouquet Organic Dill Seed

Item #HSC-DIL-002-PKT

The all-round dill for leaves, seed and bouquets, organic.

Bouquet is the most widely grown dill and gives good yields of both leaves and seed. It flowers early, with big umbels and leafy stems on long stalks, which makes it the usual choice for cut-flower bunches and pickling.

Sown thickly, it is also a fast, low-cost baby-leaf crop. Leaves (dill weed), flowers and seeds are all edible: the flowers dress potato salad, green salads and pickles, and broken into florets they suit cheese spreads and omelets.

About 40–45 days to leaf harvest and 85–105 days to seed, from sowing. Open-pollinated, certified organic seed.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sow early

Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked, 1/8–1/4" deep and 1/4–1/2" apart; no thinning needed.

Keep sowing

Sow again every 3 weeks for a steady supply of leaves; full sun, light rich soil.

Cut leaves

Harvest foliage any time before flowering; dry it in the dark to keep color and flavor.

Save seed

Cut seed heads as the seeds start turning golden brown and dry them.

Growing Information

Days to germination

7–21 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Direct sowing (recommended)

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.

Transplanting

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.

Light

Full sun.

Plant height

Varies by variety.

Plant spacing

Close, about 1/4–1/2", when grown for leaves.

Hardiness

Grown as an annual.

Harvest

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.

Soil

Grows in most soils but does best in rich, light ground.

Scientific name

Anethum graveolens
