Dill Seeds for Planting: Leafy, Tall, and Pickling Varieties

Homegrown dill has a brighter, fresher flavor than anything from a jar or a clamshell, and it's one of the fastest herbs to go from packet to plate. Our collection of dill seeds covers compact leafy types, tall pickling varieties, and heirlooms with big seed heads, so you can grow dill for the leaves, the seed, or both. Organic and conventional options are available, and each listing notes which is which, so you can filter for what fits your garden.

Dill Seed Varieties for Pickling, Salads, and Seed Heads

Mammoth Dill and Long Island Mammoth Dill grow tall, with plenty of foliage and big flowering umbels that make them a natural choice for pickling. Bouquet Dill is popular for its large seed heads and early flowering, which suits gardeners who want to harvest dill seed for the pantry. If you're mostly after tender fronds for fish, potatoes, and salads, Dukat Dill and Greensleeves Dill are leaf-focused choices, and Ceres Dill and Thalia Dill add more options for comparing leaf and seed performance in the same bed. Most of these varieties are container-friendly, which makes it easy to keep a pot of dill within reach of the kitchen door.

Growing Dill from Seed: Sow Direct and Sow Often

Dill has a long taproot that resents being moved, so it’s recommended sowing it directly where it will grow. Sowing new seed every two weeks through the season, because dill declines soon after it flowers. That habit matters, since the listings in this collection show anywhere from 31 to 75 days to maturity, and germination typically takes 11 to 15 days. Scheduling batches every couple of weeks is easy to lose track of, so the Seedtime garden planning software builds a planting calendar around your frost dates that includes those repeat sowings, and the layout planner helps you fit dill along the edges of beds where its height won't shade shorter crops.
