Dill Common
Dill Common is a graceful, upright herb cultivated for two distinct harvests: its feathery, blue-green foliage and its aromatic, pungent seeds. The flavour of the leaves is clean, grassy, and slightly anise-like, released gently when chopped fresh over hot dishes. It is traditionally used as the ultimate companion for fish—particularly cured salmon (gravlax)—as well as being a staple ingredient in potato salads, creamy sauces, and pickling recipes, where the seeds add a tangy punch.
This plant is typically grown as a tall, short-lived annual that produces wide, flat umbels of yellow flowers, which attract beneficial insects. It is generally hardy but possesses hollow, delicate stems that are easily snapped by strong winds, so it requires a sheltered position. For the best results and prolonged leaf production, plant it in a location with full sun. It is not drought-tolerant and thrives in rich, fertile soil that is kept consistently moist through regular watering to prevent it from flowering prematurely.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.
