What's in the Pack
One packet containing approximately 2,500 Bouquet dill seeds. Seeds only; plants and harvested herbs are not included.
Planting Instructions
When to Sow
Direct sow outdoors after the danger of hard frost, or sow in late summer for a cool-season crop where autumn remains mild. Repeat small sowings every 2–3 weeks for a longer leaf harvest.
Sowing and Germination
Plant about 1/4 inch deep in prepared, well-drained soil. Keep evenly moist until seedlings emerge, commonly within 7–14 days at moderate temperatures.
Spacing and Care
Grow in full sun and thin plants to about 8–12 inches apart. Dill forms a taproot and usually performs best when sown where it will grow. Protect tall flower stems from strong wind and avoid disturbing established roots.
