How to Grow Organic Bouquet Dill Seeds:
Bouquet dill is a fast-growing cool-season herb grown for both leaves and seed heads. Direct sow outdoors because dill forms a taproot and doesn’t like transplanting. Sow in early spring as soon as soil is workable, and again every 2–3 weeks through early summer for continuous fresh dill; in hot climates, sow during the coolest months or in fall. Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Sow seeds about 0.5–1 cm (¼–½ in) deep, lightly cover, and keep the topsoil evenly moist until germination, usually 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to 20–30 cm (8–12 in) apart so plants get airy and grow thick stems.
How to Care for Organic Bouquet Dill:
Water steadily—dill likes even moisture, especially while young, but soggy soil causes weak growth. Mulch helps keep roots cool and slows bolting in warm weather. Fertilizer is light: a bit of compost at planting is usually enough; too much nitrogen makes floppy plants and reduces flavor. Taller plants (often 60–90 cm / 2–3 ft) may need staking in wind. Harvest leafy fronds anytime once plants are 15–20 cm tall; snip outer stems first so the plant keeps growing. If you want seed heads for pickling, let plants flower and dry—Bouquet is famous for big, early seed umbels. Dill self-seeds easily, so remove seed heads early if you don’t want volunteers next season. Watch for aphids or caterpillars occasionally; a water spray or hand-picking usually fixes it.
