Dill COMPACT Herb Seeds

A neat compact dill variety producing fine aromatic foliage on shorter sturdy plants bringing fresh flavour and soft texture to herb beds containers and kitchen gardens.

Dill Compact Herb is bred for its tidy growth and dense leafy habit making it ideal for smaller spaces and container growing. The foliage is bright green and feathery with a clean aniseed aroma that lifts salads fish dishes and summer cooking. Plants stay shorter than traditional dill varieties yet remain productive with steady leafy growth and delicate yellow flower heads that attract bees and beneficial insects

This compact strain thrives in sunny free draining soil and grows quickly from seed. Regular picking encourages fresh tender leaves and helps maintain the compact shape. It is a reliable choice for gardeners who want full dill flavour without tall leggy plants
