Fernleaf Dill is an attractive dwarf culinary herb with delicate aromatic fern-like foliage that is grown to harvest its foliage and seeds. Its very slow to bolt, extending its leaf harvest season, and large flattened umbles of fragrant yellow flowers in late summer. 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.
