Dill ‘Palatine’ (Anethum graveolens)
Dill ‘Palatine’ is one of the best selections for gardeners wanting abundant aromatic foliage as well as flowers. This vigorous, slow-to-bolt variety produces a larger plant with plenty of finely divided, blue-green leaves for harvesting over a longer period. Unlike strains that quickly rush to seed, ‘Palatine’ gives a generous harvest of foliage before producing large yellow flower heads, which are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects. Easy to grow in full sun, it is equally at home in the vegetable garden or ornamental border. Growing to around 80–120cm tall.
