Dill is an attractive culinary herb grown to harvest its aromatic foliage and seeds. Hollow stems sport lacy blue-green leaves and large flattened umbles of fragrant yellow flowers in midsummer. The aromatic seeds follow after the flowering. Grows best in full sun and rich, light, well-drained soils. Dill attracts beneficial insects to the garden and is self-seeding.
