🗓️ When to Sow
-
Outdoors (recommended): Sow after the last frost when the soil is warm (above 15°C / 60°F).
-
Indoors: Optional — start 2–4 weeks before last frost, but dill resents transplanting due to its taproot.
🌱 How to Sow
-
Choose a Sunny Spot
-
Dill prefers full sun (6+ hours/day) and well-drained, moderately rich soil.
-
-
Sow the Seeds

Depth: ¼ inch (6 mm).

Germination

Takes 7–14 days depending on temperature.
-
Ideal soil temperature: 18–22°C (65–72°F).

Thin seedlings once they reach 2–3 inches tall.

Dill does not transplant well — sow in final position if possible.

Mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
🌼 Growing Tips
-
Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves when plants are 6–8 inches tall. Pinch the growing tips to encourage bushiness.
-
Bolting: Dwarf dill is slower to bolt than taller types but still prefers cooler temps to stay leafy.
-
Flowers/Seeds: Allow some plants to flower for seed harvest or to attract beneficial insects.
-
Succession Sow: Every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves.
