Dukat - Dill Seeds
Dukat dill, known for its exceptional flavor and aromatic qualities, is a popular herb in culinary gardens. This variety of dill boasts finely textured, feathery foliage that is vibrant green and abundant. Dukat dill offers a unique, slightly sweeter taste compared to other dill varieties. Its fresh, tangy flavor with hints of anise and lemon perfectly complements a wide range of dishes, from salads and seafood to sauces and pickles. With its consistent growth habits and prolific nature, Dukat dill provides a steady supply of flavorful leaves and seeds throughout the growing season.
GROWING TIPS
Plant seeds directly into the garden in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 55-75°F. For a continual harvest of leaves, make additional plantings every 3 weeks except during the hottest part of the summer. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. Dill self-sows readily.
