Notes
'Hera' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Hera') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the fragrant foliage.
Pairs well with Blue Beech tomato, Redbor kale, and Santo cilantro.
