Dill GOLDKRONE Herb Seeds

A tall aromatic dill variety producing abundant feathery foliage and large golden flower heads bringing strong flavour and decorative structure to herb beds borders and kitchen gardens.

 

Dill Goldkrone is known for its vigorous upright growth and generous leafy production. The foliage is fine and aromatic with a clean aniseed scent ideal for salads fish dishes pickling and summer cooking. Plants develop impressive golden umbels that attract bees and beneficial insects while also providing seed for culinary use.

 

This variety is particularly valued for its strong stems and high yield making it a favourite for both fresh use and preserving.

 

Goldkrone thrives in sunny free draining soil and grows quickly from seed. Regular picking encourages fresh leafy growth while allowing a few plants to flower ensures a supply of aromatic seeds. It performs well in beds containers and larger herb plantings and self seeds lightly when conditions suit.
