Bouquet Dill: Compact, Flavorful Herb for Fresh and Dried Use
Bouquet Dill is a compact variety prized for its exceptional leaf production and intense flavor profile. This annual herb matures in 45-55 days for leaf harvest and 70-90 days for seed production. Unlike other dill varieties, Bouquet Dill resists bolting, ensuring a longer harvest period. Its compact growth habit, reaching 12-18 inches in height, makes it an excellent choice for container gardening and small spaces.
Bouquet Dill offers versatility in the kitchen, with its pleasantly sweet leaves ideal for both fresh and dried applications. The aromatic foliage enhances a wide range of culinary creations, from pickles and salads to fish dishes and sauces. Its compact size doesn’t compromise on flavor, making it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike. The plant’s resistance to early bolting ensures a consistent supply of flavorful leaves throughout the growing season.
This dill variety thrives in full sun exposure and prefers rich, well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting. Bouquet Dill’s moderate growth rate and average water requirements make it a low-maintenance addition to herb gardens. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season.
Growing Success Tips:
- Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily
- Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged
- Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushier growth
- Pinch off flower heads to extend leaf production
Bouquet Dill is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a compact, flavorful herb that excels in both fresh and dried applications. Its ease of cultivation and resistance to bolting make it a reliable addition to any herb garden, ensuring a bountiful harvest of aromatic leaves throughout the season.
For optimal flavor, harvest Bouquet Dill leaves in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day.
