Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in trays 4 weeks before last frost; gently transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Dill can also be direct-seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed. Provide support so stems don’t topple. For an extended harvest, sow two to three successions.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest when flower heads are fully developed and bright yellow. Seed heads can also be dried and used indefinitely. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.
