Umuthi Dill Growing Seeds

Features

Description

Umuthi Dill Growing Seeds grow fragrant, feathery dill with a fresh grassy flavour and gentle lemony notes. Dill is a low-fuss annual herb that grows well in full sun and moderately rich, well-draining soil. The fresh leaves are perfect for pickles, salads, dressings, soups, seafood, quick garnishes, and kitchen vases, while mature seed heads can be used for pickling, spice mixes, and bread.

Dill also attracts bees and other beneficial insects, making it a useful herb for edible garden beds. Why we love it: Dill gives you tender leaves first and aromatic seed heads later if you let a few plants mature. It is practical, fragrant, pollinator-friendly, and wonderfully useful in the kitchen.
