Umuthi Dill Herb Seeds (Anethum graveolens) grow fragrant, feathery foliage with a fresh, grassy flavour and gentle lemony notes. Easy to raise in full sun and well-drained soil, dill is perfect for pickling, salads, soups and seafood, and the umbels draw helpful pollinators to the garden. Harvest leaves little and often through the season, then let a few plants set seed for jars and spice blends.
♡ Why we love it: One sowing gives you tender leaves for months and, later, aromatic seed heads for pickles. A low-fuss annual that brings both flavour and beneficial insects to edible beds.
Size: 125 Seeds.
