Notes

'Thalia' dill (Anethum graveolens 'Thalia') is an herb for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. The fragrant plant draws butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and birds.

Pairs well with Black Magic kale, Tiny Tim tomato, and Flashback Mix calendula.
