Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Dill, particularly this variety, thrives in well drained, poor soil with a pH level ranging from slightly acidic to neutral. It prefers full sunlight, though it can tolerate partial shade. To ensure optimal growth, plant Bouquet dill in a spot that receives at least 8-12 hours of sunlight daily and is protected from strong winds​.

When to Grow

Dill can be planted in early spring or fall. The seeds germinate best in soil temperatures between 55-75 F. In most regions, you can plant dill outdoors 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every few weeks until midsummer​.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow dill seeds directly into the garden about 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and spaced 2-4 inches apart. If planting in rows, space the rows about a foot apart. Dill can also be successfully grown in containers, provided they are at least 18 inches deep to accommodate the plant’s long taproot​.

How to Grow

Dill requires moderate watering; keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Dill is relatively hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as 24 F. However, it grows best in temperatures ranging from 55-75 F. Fertilizing is generally not necessary​.

How to Save

To harvest dill seeds, allow the seed heads to fully mature and turn brown on the plant. Once the seeds are dry, gently shake the seed heads over a bag to collect them. Store the collected seeds in a cool, dark, and dry place throughout the winter to maintain their viability for future planting.
