Dill Seeds for Planting – Non-GMO Heirloom

The bright, feathery herb worth a spot in your garden

Dill (Anethum graveolens) is a fast-growing annual herb loved for its delicate, thread-like leaves and its warm, tangy seed. The fresh foliage, often called dill weed, gives a clean, grassy-anise note to salads, dips, and fish, while the ripe seed brings a sharper, caraway-like bite to pickles and breads. Each plant sends up airy yellow flower umbels that ripen into fragrant seed, and its lacy form looks as good in the border as it does in the kitchen garden.

How to grow dill from seed

Dill is one of the easiest herbs to start from seed. Sow dill seeds about a quarter inch deep in a sunny, well-drained bed after the last frost, then thin the seedlings to stand roughly 8 to 12 inches apart. Plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall and are ready to snip leaves in about 40 to 60 days, with seed ripening later in the season. Dill forms a taproot and dislikes transplanting, so it does best direct-sown where it will grow. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing dill from seed.

How to use dill

Both the leaves and the seed are useful. Snip the feathery greens fresh over salmon, potatoes, eggs, yogurt dips, and creamy dressings, or stir them into soups just before serving. The ripe seed is the classic pickling spice, essential for dill pickles, and adds a warm, tangy note to rye bread, sauerkraut, and spice blends. Dill is also traditionally brewed into gentle herbal teas.

Dill and its soft-herb cousins

If you love dill, you will enjoy its aromatic relatives. Try fennel for a sweet licorice cousin in the same family, cilantro for another bright, leafy soft herb, or parsley for a garden staple that pairs with everything. Explore the full range in our herb seeds collection.
