Fothergill's Dill Dwarf Nano Herb Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Anethum graveolens 'Nano', an elite, highly specialized dwarf cultivar within the aromatic herb family.
• Plant Class: Hardy Annual, establishing with incredible speed from a spring sowing to deliver heavy, repeat pickings of gourmet foliage in the exact same season.
• Ultra-Compact Bush Habit: Naturally forms a perfectly neat, dense, and non-trailing mound framework, reaching a highly controlled mature height of just 30cm (12in). It delivers a massive volume of leaves on a remarkably small footprint.
• Deliciously Aromatic: Packed with a high concentration of essential oils, yielding soft, fern-like green fronds that deliver a delightful, clean, and sweet aniseed flavor with subtle citrus undertones.
• The Ultimate Culinary Partner: The definitive herb pairing for classic seafood dishes—especially salmon—as well as crisp summer salads, homemade vinegars, and refreshing yogurt-based dips.
• True Year-Round Cultivation: Completely adaptable to indoor life; sow individual batches inside your home from January through to December for a constant, 365-day harvesting cycle right at your fingertips.
• Growing Position: Highly versatile across the garden plot; while most herbs demand baking sun, Nano thrives beautifully when positioned in Dappled Shade or Partial Shade, making it perfect for shaded window ledges, urban courtyards, and under-canopy planting.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: For outdoor summer crops, sow seeds thinly directly into their final growing pots or beds from April to July. For a continuous, year-round supply of fresh leaves, sow small batches indoors on a bright, warm windowsill from January through to December. Do not cover the seeds deeply; a very fine dusting of compost is all that is required.
• Avoid Root Disturbance: Dill features a sensitive, delicate taproot and strongly dislikes being moved or transplanted once established. For the absolute best results, always sow the seeds directly into their final decorative patio pots, window boxes, or garden beds.
• Moisture & Maintenance: Keep the soil or container compost consistently moist but never waterlogged. Dill Nano requires regular, even watering to prevent it from bolting (running to seed prematurely) during warm summer spells, ensuring the leaves remain tender and sweet.
• Harvesting Tip: Use clean kitchen scissors to snip the fresh, feathery leaves continuously as required throughout the year. Pick from the top of the plant to continuously stimulate the bushy framework into pushing out fresh, vigorous new growth.
