Dill: varieties, growing and uses
Dill adds an airy layer above low-growing vegetables: fine green foliage, then yellow flower umbels and finally seeds. A compact variety fits in a deep pot; let a vigorous form grow taller. Plan some for leaves and some for flowers.

- Use
- Fresh, aromatic leaves; dill seed has a different, stronger spiciness. The exact aroma is not described separately for every cultivar.
- Care
- Sun, shelter and moist but well-drained soil. Preferably sow in the final position; prevent drying out and root disturbance.
- Harvest and flowering
- Cut young leaves as needed. Let seed heads on separate plants ripen before collecting dry seed.
