How to Grow Dill Plants from Seed?

• Plant seeds outside from late spring to
  mid-summer after the soil has had a chance to
  warm up.
• Gently loosen the soil to a 6-8 inches depth
  using a tiller or garden fork.
• Plant seeds evenly and sparingly, burying them
  about ½-¼ inch deep in the prepared soil.
• Leave 18-24 inches of space between rows to
  ensure good airflow and room for growth.
• Lightly cover the seeds with soil.

  each seed.
• Cover the seeds with additional potting mix and

FAQs
Q. How long does dill take to grow
Dill usually matures in 6 to 8 weeks after
planting. However, you can begin picking its
leaves after the plant reaches a height of around
8 inches.
Q. Does dill come back every year?
Dill is an annual herb that completes its life
cycle within one growing season. However, it
often self-seeds, which means it may return to
the same location the following year if allowed
to go to seed.
Q. Can you plant dill from the grocery store?
Yes, you can plant Dill from seeds purchased at
the grocery store. However, ensure that the seeds
are untreated and intended for planting, as some
seeds sold for culinary use may be treated with
chemicals or irradiation that can inhibit
germination.
