Small young plants in a 8.5cm pot

Dill is an easy-to-grow annual or biennial herb with attractive ferny foliage that has a sweet, fresh, fennel-like flavour.

The leaves are at their best in spring and summer, before plants send up tall heads of tiny yellow flowers.

Both the flowers and the aromatic seeds are edible too.

The leaves are traditionally used in stews and soups, and of course in dill pickles, or can be chopped into fresh and salads.

Water dill regularly, so the soil or compost doesn’t dry out, especially in hot, dry summers. But don’t let the soil become waterlogged.

Hoe around young plants to prevent weeds competing with or smothering them.

You may need to support tall plants with canes or twiggy sticks, so they don’t get blown over.

Avoid growing dill near fennel, as the two can cross-breed, resulting in seedlings with a poor flavour.
