Common Dill Seeds – Anethum graveolens

Common Dill Seeds produce delicate feathery foliage with a fresh, aromatic flavour, making this popular culinary herb an essential addition to every kitchen garden. Known botanically as Anethum graveolens, dill is widely used to flavour fish dishes, potatoes, salads, soups, sauces, and pickles, while its seeds are also valued for seasoning and preserving.

Fast-growing and highly productive, Common Dill provides continuous harvests of fragrant leaves throughout the growing season. If left to flower, the attractive golden-yellow umbels are highly appealing to bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

How to Grow Common Dill Seeds

Sow Common Dill Seeds directly outdoors from April to July into fertile, well-drained soil.

Sow seeds approximately 1cm deep in shallow drills and keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which usually takes 10–14 days.

Grow in a sunny, sheltered position and thin seedlings to around 20–30cm apart to allow plants to develop fully.

Avoid transplanting where possible, as dill produces a long taproot and establishes best when direct sown.

Harvest young leaves regularly as required, or allow plants to flower and produce seeds for culinary use.

Common Dill Growing Tips

Sow little and often for a continuous supply of fresh leaves.

Grow in full sun for the best flavour.

Water regularly during dry weather.

Harvest leaves before flowering for the finest flavour.
