Notes

'Teddy' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Teddy') is an herb for containers, food gardens, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the fragrant plant. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Giant of Italy parsley, Black Prince tomato, and Flashback Mix calendula.
