Welcome to The Green Grove Garden! As former nursery owners and plant propagators, we’ve raised thousands of plugs and seedlings for our own farm. That hands-on experience with seed handling, storage, and germination lets us offer you fresh, high-quality seed you can trust. This listing features our fragrant, heirloom dill — a must-have for pickles, cooking, and pollinators.
Why You’ll Love Growing Dill
- Classic kitchen staple: Fresh dill elevates fish, lamb, potatoes, soups, sauces, salad dressings, and of course, homemade pickles.
- Use leaves & seeds: Enjoy feathery foliage as an herb and harvest the umbels later for flavorful dill seed in pickling and baking.
- Fresh beats dried: Homegrown dill has a sweeter, brighter flavor than store-bought jars and can be used fresh or dried.
- Ferny, ornamental foliage: Soft, threadlike leaves add a delicate, airy look to herb beds, raised beds, and edible landscapes.
- Pollinator & butterfly friendly: Dill flowers attract beneficial insects, and black swallowtail caterpillars use it as a host plant.
- Easy, low-maintenance herb: Few pest or disease problems; thrives with sun, drainage, and light weeding.
- Heirloom, non-GMO: Open-pollinated dill seed you can allow to self-sow or save yourself for future seasons.
🌱 Quick “Sow & Grow” Guide
- Seed count: You will receive approximately 800+ dill seeds.
- When to sow: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or after frost when soil is 50–70°F. In mild climates, sow again in late summer for a fall crop.
- Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) produces the best flavor and strongest stems.
- Soil: Well-drained, moderately rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Avoid soggy, compacted spots.
- Planting depth: Sow seeds about 1/8–1/4" deep in pre-moistened soil and lightly firm the surface.
- Spacing: Sow thinly, then thin seedlings to about 8–12" apart so plants can reach full height.
- Germination: Seeds typically sprout in about 7–21 days under good conditions.
- Height & habit: Plants generally reach about 16–24" tall with airy, branching foliage and flat-topped yellow flower umbels.
- Harvest window: Begin cutting leaves once plants are 8" tall; full leafy harvest usually starts around 45–60 days from sowing, with seed heads maturing later in the season.
- Harvest tip: For the best flavor, harvest foliage just before flowering. Allow a few plants to bloom and set seed for spice and natural reseeding.
