Dill 'Fernleaf'

4.5" POT

An All-American Selections winner, Fernleaf Dwarf dill features dark blue-green leaves that serve ornamental and culinary purposes! This dwarf variety of the popular dill herb is much more compact than most other varieties, growing approximately 12 inches tall and wide. Its compact size makes it ideal for container gardens and patio planters, and it will not require staking or other support due to its compact growth. Its fern-like leaves are very attractive and abundant with foliage that lasts throughout the season. The flowers, leaves, and seeds of this herb are commonly used in a wide variety of dishes including spring mix salads, fruit salads, fish, poultry, and more! The seeds of this herb can even be harvested and used for pickling a variety of different vegetables. Fernleaf Dwarf dill is grown as an annual, though it is not uncommon to see volunteer plants popping up in subsequent years due to the plant reseeding itself. In addition to its culinary uses, this type of dill is often used for ornamental purposes, adding an attractive feathery accent to flowerpots or bouquets.

Planting & Growing Fernleaf Dwarf Dill

• Light: Plant dill in direct sun for best results. Dill will tolerate some afternoon shade in the summer.

• Water: Grows best in soil that is moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil becomes dry. May require daily watering during the heat of the summer.

• Soil: Plant in rich, fertile soil that drains well. Soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is best. Consider mixing compost into the soil prior to planting and fertilizing throughout the growing season.

• Planting: Can be planted outside in a traditional garden, grown in a container garden, or grown indoors as a container herb.
