Garden dill is a delicate and expressive aromatic plant, recognizable by its finely cut foliage and characteristic aniseed fragrance. From its very first appearance, it brings a visual and sensory lightness to the garden, swaying gently in the breeze on its supple stems.

Cultivated since antiquity, Anethum graveolens is valued for both its leaves and seeds. In the garden, it behaves as a warm-season annual, growing quickly but relatively short. It prefers sunny locations and well-drained soil, where it can fully express its aroma.

Dill integrates easily into vegetable gardens and mixed flower beds. It grows well alongside cucumbers, lettuce, or cabbage, while attracting a variety of beneficial insects when it flowers. Its yellow umbels of blossoms add a graphic touch and support biodiversity.

Fresh dill leaves are widely used to flavor fish, potatoes, sauces, salads, and marinades. Their delicate flavor is quickly lost during cooking, which is why they are often added at the end of preparation.

The seeds, harvested when ripe, are traditionally used for preserves, marinades, and certain ancient medicinal preparations. Dill thus occupies an important place in the cuisines of Northern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
