Plant in Full Sun

What an herb! Dill is a favorite herb to use in cooking, especially in pickling or on healthy foods like fish. Growing your own dill is rewarding in so many ways: Use the weed (fine, feathery leaves) or dried seed in cooking. The native Mediterranean plant also is a pretty and valuable garden plant that you can place in a vegetable garden or alongside flowering plants.

Dill typically grows to at least 4 feet high, with an upright shape. If this plant's scent, usefulness and pretty appearance are not enough, consider this: Dill is a host for several types of swallowtail butterflies. Although the caterpillars can pretty much strip the leaves bare, dill is an important host plant for the butterflies.

Dill Plant Care

Find a spot for dill outside that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. Wait until temperatures warm to about 70 degrees. Dill can thrive in soil that might be too poor for other herbs and vegetables to make it. It will do best in soil that drains well and is nice and warm. Space dill plants at least 12 to 15 inches apart to give each plant plenty of room to grow. Some outdoor dill plants might need shelter from heavy winds or staking.

Growing Dill Plants

Space planting time to have dill plants at various stages of weed and seed production for you and the caterpillars. Dill can reseed in areas of the garden if the seeds stay on the plant. The little seedlings are easy to pull up, however. You can harvest dill leaves as soon as they grow, clipping close to their stems. Dill is best if harvested in early morning or at dusk. The leaves' flavor is best if harvested before flowers begin to appear on the plant. That means pinching off the flowers as they begin to grow if you want dill weed more than dill seed. If you want a fresh clipping of dill weed right away for cooking, grow the plant indoors in a container.

Be sure to choose a tall container that can accommodate the plant's long roots. Make sure a container for dill has holes for drainage and give the plant as much sunlight as possible outdoors or supplement it with fluorescent grow lights if growing dill indoors.

Watering Dill Plants

Water dill regularly Don't overwater, though, especially if the soil in a container or the ground does not drain well.

Feeding Dill Plants

Dill doesn't need much in the way of fertilizer. You can apply a balanced fertilizer in late spring around the surface of the plant to help it along.

Growing Dill From Cuttings

Is it easy to grow dill from cuttings?

Yes, dill cuttings root easily in water! Keep in mind that dill is a plant with a deep, central tap root, and when you propagate plants with stem cuttings, only adventitious or lateral roots will form. So the dill plant that you grow from cuttings will not develop a tap root and therefore may not be as sturdy as plants grown from seed.

When is the right time to take dill cuttings?

We recommend taking cuttings in the spring or early summer when dill plants are putting on lots of vigorous growth. This timing also allows you to plant your new dill plants when the weather is still relatively mild.

How do you advise people to take dill cuttings?

Use garden scissors or pruning shears to snip stem pieces about 4-6 inches in length. Choose sturdy stems and make cuts on the diagonal to provide more surface area for root development. Make sure to take several cuttings because not all of them will successfully root for you. Remove most of the lower leaves before you place the cutting in water.

How long does it take for dill to root in water? When should you transplant cuttings?

Dill cuttings will form roots in water after about 2-3 weeks. The cuttings can be transplanted into soil once the roots are at least an inch long. Not all of the cuttings will transplant successfully in soil, so again, start with multiple cuttings and don't be concerned if some don't survive.
