100 Dill Bouquet Seeds!
*Free Dill Recipe Included!

Commonly grown dill. Early, large seed heads make this an excellent dill for pickling. Plant extra for the swallowtail butterflies! The foliage is also good sprinkled on news potatoes, tomatoes, grilled salmon, spinach, green beans, cucumbers and squash. Very aromatic.

Item ships within US FREE via USPS. ETA 2 - 3 days

I will ship internationally but, buyer pays shipping. *Please contact me first to calculate shipping fees to your country. Buyer to pay international shipping via PayPal.com. Check with your customs agencies regarding horticultural import laws.


Lovely to use as ornamental planting and as like baby's breath in floral bouquets.

*These are heirloom dill seeds, so be sure to allow a few plants to flower then go to seed to be able to collect more seeds for future planting. These particular seeds come from plants that are at least 20 years old.

Directions state that dill is an annual plant that begins to grow in spring. I reside in southern California and I can plant these during autumn and winter months as well. They don't fare during late Spring or Summer here in southern California.

Plant Type: Annual
When to Sow Outside: In spring, after the last frost. Continue to sow every 2 - 3 weeks until hot weather sets in to assure a constant supply of fresh foliage and seeds.

Seed Depth: Press into surface of soil
Seed Spacing: 1"
Row Spacing: 2'
Days to Emerge: 20 - 25
Thinning: When 3" tall, thin to 12 " apart.

Companion Planting: Don't plant dill near carrots or tomatoes, give them each some room because dill can have negative effects on them both.

I'm not much of a canner but, I love to use fresh herbs for cooking! It's much easier to freeze herbs instead of drying them. The flavour bounces back after freezing herbs unlike drying process.

*Be sure to cut back dill herb as so, the herb will replenish; otherwise, your dill will get a bit woody.

Howdy Sasha, Good question. It really all depends upon your planting zone and altitude really. Southern California has variable weather. I know that folks living in the city of San Bernardino can plant tomatoes during the winter months while folks a mile away in the higher elevations of Big Bear have to wait unitl February.

Generally herb planting in souther California is February. Seed packages will tell you that because, packers take in account wind, rain season and frost during February. I happen to plant herbs all year long and so quite successfully. During the winter months, when I plant in Los Angeles, I start my seeds in pots but, for my gardens in Riverside County, I sow directly into the soil because, the days are much warmer than in Riverside County. I plant all year long and do cover plants during cold snaps. If something grows it grows. I've never had any troubles with growing herbs during winter months in southern California but, I'm at either sea level or plant at elevations in the Inland Empire. I'm assuming that you receive snowfall and experience different weather throughout the seasons than LA or IE. If you happen to get a snowfall, I'd wait until Jan or Feb to plant dill but, start them indoors. I've ignored planting guides and have found that herbs love southern California winter months in regular elevations. I'm assuming that your winter months are a bit harsher because of your elevations. Herbs that I plant during winter (now)Chamomile, Chive, Cilantro, Dill, Lemon grass, Mint,Parsley, Taragon, Thyme

Don't be afraid to make your own green house either. It's easy. Just build a box with a plexy glass lid to obsorb the warm sun but, keep out cold elements. I do know that higher elevations can plant garlic and onions quite successfuly even with a bit of snowfall.
