The annual, herbaceous plant grows up to 75 cm tall in summer. Dill was already used as a medicinal and spice plant in ancient Egypt, and was well-known and popular in ancient Greece and Rome. From June to August, the umbelliferae presents its yellow flower umbels – a beautiful addition to your hand-picked bouquet from your own flower garden. If you want to grow dill in a pot, make sure you choose a larger container, as dill has deep roots. Originally, dill comes from Southeast Asia, from where it spread through cultivation to Southern Europe and later to Western Europe. The best time for propagation is to start in February in a sunny place indoors, as the seed is a light germinator. Spread the seeds on moist coconut substrate or organic herb soil and press lightly. Cover the seed container with transparent film to prevent the soil from drying out, but don't forget to make a few holes in the clear film and take it off completely every other or third day for about 2 hours. This way you avoid mold formation on the potting compost. Place the seed container somewhere bright and warm with a temperature between 20°C and 25° Celsius and keep the surface of the soil moist, but not wet (ideally with a water spray). Depending on the propagation temperature, the first seedlings will come up after two to five weeks. Seedlings that have already been raised indoors can be planted out at the beginning of May. As soon as no more night frost is expected, you can move the seedling with its complete root ball, to avoid stress for the plant. The plant needs sun, warmth and a sheltered place to produce its full aroma. Always keep the soil moist, but not wet. Water your plant as soon as the top layer of soil has dried out. Fertilize the plant either very modestly with compost or organic fertilizer for herbs, or don't fertilize at all. Sow again next year.
