Bouquet Dill is multi-branched and grows large striking yellow flower clusters. Dill is very aromatic, has a hint of caraway flavor. It's great in a cucumber salad. The feathery leaves are used to season meats and seafood. Bouquet dill is frequently used to flavor dill pickles.


Growing Instructions:

1) Direct sow:
In spring after last frost date or threat of frost has passed.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows 18in apart.
Keep soil moist but not overly wet. (The surface of the soil can dry out but shouldn't dry out deeper than 1/2 inch.


2) Transplant:
Start seeds indoors in spring around 6 weeks before last frost date.
Planting 1/4 inch deep in starting mix in container or tray.
Cover the container or tray loosely with plastic to retain moisture.
Place in a warm spot (80 degrees+ is ideal. Placing heating mats under plants helps speed up germination time.)
After seeds germinate, remove plastic covering and continue to keep soil moist but not overly wet.
Grow lights are a good addition at this point, especially if seedlings do not receive a lot of direct sunlight. Keep plants as close to grow lights as possible but not closer than 2-3 inches. (Soil will dry out quicker under the grow lights.)
Move plants to larger containers after they've grown 2 sets of true leaves.
At this point, I like to use a tabletop fan pointed at the plants help prepare them for outdoor conditions.
About 1-2 weeks before you plan to transplant outdoors, start to harden the plants off by placing them outside. Start in the shade for an hour or two and extend the time each day, gradually exposing them to more sunlight, until they can be left outside for several hours in direct sunlight.
Transplant after threat of frost has passed and soil temp is around 60-65 degrees.


Early Planting Tips:
Remove any blossoms that form before transplanting and any that emerge in the first several weeks. (Even if it's SO difficult to make yourself do this!) The plants will acclimate to their new environment better and use resources to grow stronger and fuller and produce a much larger harvest mid and late season.
I like to mulch around the plants with about an inch of mulch, leaving a couple of inches diameter around the base of the plants. (We use grass and leaf clippings for this, but anything garden-friendly will work.)
Covering the ground between the plants with tarps, cardboard, or similar will help keep the soil warm if temperatures still get cold at night.
If frost is possible after transplanting, cover plants with sheets or tarps not heavy enough to damage branches or leaves.
