Notes
'Fernleaf' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Fernleaf') is an herb for containers, food gardens, and pollinator 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 or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms in early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Santo cilantro, Black Prince tomato, and Redbor kale.
