Dill does not transplant well and is best if sown directly in early spring. For potted growing, begin indoors 4-6 weeks before final frost. Plant 3-4 seeds ¼” deep per cell or 10-12” apart in the garden in sandy, loamy, and well-drained soil in full sun. Seeds germinate in 10-21 days, thinning back to 1 plant per pot or 15” apart in the garden as true leaves establish.
Warning: Do not grow near carrots to avoid hybridization.
Harvest leaves as needed, or cut entire plant when seeds have formed at the tops of the 3-4 foot tall plants. Plants will often reseeds itself.
