Dwarf Fernleaf Dill Herb Growing Habits
Non-GMO (Anethum graveolens) Dwarf Fernleaf Dill plants grow as abundant warm-season annuals. As heirlooms, this popular dill variety will develop upright as a compact dwarf variety with fresh, pungent foliage reaching 18-24" tall. Hardy dill plants begin producing baby greens that can be picked early in the season. Once Dwarf Fernleaf Dill reaches maturity in either late spring or fall, your plants will grow clusters of yellow flowers and green-feathery foliage rich with verdant flavor. As slow-bolting dill herbs develop seeds, allow the flowers to dry prior to changing color from summer or just before winter.
The Culinary Uses of Dwarf Fernleaf Dill Garden Herb
Dwarf Fernleaf Dill is great for making tasty dressing such as tzatziki sauce or lemon dill for salads. This dwarf dill variety is also a popular flavoring addition to soups and salmon! You can also store your dill by drying or pickling to later use in meat dishes or to enhance a larger batch of clam chowder. Fresh or dried Fernleaf Dill is also a tasty ingredient to pair and cook with potatoes.
The Gardening Benefits of Dwarf Fernleaf Dill Herb & Seed
As many dill varieties can grow 2-4" tall, this Dwarf Fernleaf Dill grows 18-24" as it is more compact and great for container planting. Although this is an annual herb, Fernleaf is hardier and slow-bolting, making Dwarf Fernleaf a favorite dill for gardeners in warm-to-temperate climates to grow! Allow this herb to go to seed in the fall before winter, as Dwarf Fernleaf Dill has the ability to regrow next spring.
