It is heat tolerant which makes it slow-to-bolt, so you will enjoy fresh picked, aromatic dill throughout the season. Dill is an important host plant for caterpillars of swallowtail butterflies.

This dill grew super quick in my raised garden beds, I’m in zone 9b and it only took a couple weeks to have enough dill to use in the kitchen already. I tried to grow a dill variety from the nursery last year and it did no where near as well as this variety!!

These turned out great! The pic actually doesn't do it full justice because I had just harvested a bunch.
I scattered about 15 seeds in a 6 in plastic pot. I actually planted these like 2 months too early, then after a frost and when temps started hitting 70 highs they sprouted and went crazy. Happy with these seeds.
