Notes
'Ella' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Ella') is an herb for containers, borders, pollinator gardens, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The fragrant, bushy plants stay 10 to 16 inches tall and draw bees, butterflies, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Red Robin tomato, Santo cilantro, Alpha calendula, and Ruby Perfection cabbage.
