This dill stays more compact than many tall forms. It works well near other easy herbs such as Greek oregano. You can also pair it with Sweet Italian basil in a sunny herb garden.

Harvest and Use

Cut young leaves as you need them. Use fresh dill with fish, potatoes, salads, sauces, and pickles. Add the leaves near the end of cooking to keep their fresh taste.

Plants may form yellow flower heads as they mature. Let some flowers set seed if you want dill seed for the kitchen or next season.
