Where standard dill rushes to flower and set seed, Greensleeves stays in the highly productive vegetative stage significantly longer — delivering a sustained, generous harvest of tender, aromatic dill fronds ideal for fresh culinary use, pickling, and herb preservation. When it does eventually flower, the classic flat-topped yellow umbels attract an extraordinary diversity of beneficial insects, making this a dual-purpose culinary and pollinator plant of the first order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCultivated from Professional Grade root systems with an organic heritage, Greensleeves Dill is an essential herb for the kitchen garden, raised bed, and container herb collection. Its feathery, blue-green foliage is stunning as an edible ornamental and pairs classically with cucumber, salmon, potato, egg dishes, and fresh compound butters. Plant in succession every 3–4 weeks for a continuous harvest of fresh fronds throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow-Bolting for Extended Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greensleeves' superior slow-bolt genetics keep the plant in lush, productive foliage mode significantly longer than standard dill varieties — delivering more harvests of tender, fragrant fronds per planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRichly Fragrant Culinary Herb:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely aromatic blue-green fronds are the essential flavoring for pickles, smoked salmon, potato salads, tzatziki, fresh compound butters, and a wide range of Scandinavian and Eastern European culinary traditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeneficial Insect Powerhouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat-topped yellow flower umbels are a premier habitat plant for parasitic wasps, hoverflies, lacewings, and swallowtail butterfly caterpillars — making dill one of the most ecologically valuable herbs in the kitchen garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdible Ornamental Appeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feathery, glaucous blue-green foliage provides delicate, airy texture as a visual element in mixed herb gardens, raised beds, and patio containers alongside other culinary companions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Harvest Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e Succession planting every 3–4 weeks provides a steady supply of fresh dill fronds through the entire warm growing season — snip regularly to delay bolting and maximize yield.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese 4\" healthy live plants thrive in full sun — at least 6 hours daily — in well-draining, fertile soil. Water consistently but avoid waterlogging. Dill is a cool-to-warm season annual herb: transplant after the last frost date for your area and harvest regularly before the first fall frost. Approximately 40–60 days to full foliage harvest maturity from transplant. Snip outer fronds regularly to encourage continued foliage production and delay bolting. Once flowering begins, harvest seed heads for dill seed when they turn tan and dry. Succession plant every 3–4 weeks for continuous supply through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planted Places","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324807786710,"sku":"2DILLGSV4","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/2496\/8075\/files\/DILL_-_4__greensleeves.png?v=1780616787","url":"https:\/\/www.plantedplaces.com\/products\/greensleeves-dill","provider":"Planted Places","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
