Anethum graveolens
Dill is an annual herb in the celery family, the feathery leaves, which have a slightly aniseed smell, are often used for flavouring. particularly in fish dishes. The seeds are also used for culinary purposes
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Late Summer
Dill bears umbels of yellow flowers through Summer. Cut off the flower-heads if you do not want the plant to make seed.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Dill does not like to be moved, so planting is not a viable option. Seeds need to be sown in situ
Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seed in a free-draining, sunny site, where you want the plant to grow - they do not transplant well.
