Product Details
The refreshing flavor of dill will surely win you over (if you don't already love it)! 'Tetra' is a bushy, late flowering variety, meaning more leaf production for dill lovers. 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.

Harvesting: Fresh foliage can be harvested any time until plant flowers. Cut leaves as close to stem as possible. Seeds should be harvested 2 to 3 weeks after flowering begins, after the flower heads have turned brown. Cut flower heads with stem and place in paper bag before seed becomes too mature and falls to the ground. Heads should be placed in bottom of bag and the top of the bag should be tied shut around the stems. Seeds will fall to the bottom of the bag. Store seeds in airtight glass jar.

I had 100% success with all seeds turning into little plants. They are already over 5 inches tall in three weeks.

The seeds arrived in good condition and I look forward to planting them as soon as our usual winter freezing cold gives
way to warmer Spring weather.

Tetra dill is the only variety that really flourishes for me. It seems to last forever without bolting. I grow it indoors under a grow light. Tastes great.
