Dill

	Common Name: Dill Scientific Name: Anthum graveolens
	Taste and Aroma Dill flowers have the distinct dill flavor.
General Description
Growing Being native to southern Europe and western Asia, dill requires full sun, good drainage, and rich soil to thrive. Despite its frail appearance, dill (Anethum graveolens) is considered a hardy annual and drought resistant. In mild climates its seeds can be sown in fall to overwinter and produce an early spring crop. Whether planted in fall or in spring, it is best to sow the seeds directly into the ground as they do not transplant well, often flowering prematurely. This can also happen if the plants are overcrowded, lack suffient water, reside in poor soil. Plant dill in clumps to get the maximum, bushy effect. Dill can even be grown indoors if given a sunny location with six hours of light. For a vibrant splash of color, try interspersing the dill with orange pot marigolds. Sowing new batches every two weeks will keep your herb supply constant. Dill sprouts easily and will self-seed. Dill is also a helpful plant to have in the garden since it attracts beneficial insects whose larvae feed on aphids making it a good plant to protect your roses. To harvest dill, just snip what you need with a scissors, leaving the rest of the plant to keep growing.
