About Fernleaf Dill Plants
Fernleaf Dill herbs are versatile and easy-to-grow, the perfect addition to your kitchen garden. This herb has a unique flavor that is both sweet and tangy, making it the perfect addition to a variety of dishes. It is commonly used in pickling, as well as in soups, salads, and marinades. Its delicate leaves also make it an attractive garnish for any dish.
Uses of Dill Plants in Permaculture
Fernleaf Dill is also an excellent herb for attracting beneficial insects to your garden, such as ladybugs and hoverflies. These insects are natural predators of pests such as aphids and whiteflies and can help keep your garden healthy and pest-free. It’s notably a good companion for cabbages, onions, lettuce and peas.
How to Grow Fernleaf Dill
Fernleaf Dill plants are easy to grow and can thrive in a variety of conditions. They prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter and can be planted in a sunny location or partial shade. Dill Fernleaf is slower to bolt, too.
It grows as a perennial plant in hardiness zones 8 through 10 but can also grow as an indoor plant or kitchen herb in cooler zones. When growing this herb indoors, be sure to give it plenty of light.
This 1992 All-American Selections winner solved the problems of common dill by providing a compact habit that holds up to strong winds. It’s compact enough to grow alongside vegetables in raised beds or in small containers.
