Notes

'Fern Leaf' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Fern Leaf') is an herb for borders, pollinator gardens, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Ruby Perfection cabbage, Santo cilantro, and Flowerburst Red Shades yarrow.
