Anethum graveolens
Dill
Delicious, tangy dill is great for home pickling and canning. It also makes a delicious herb butter or seasoning for soups, salads and fish. Easy to grow, dill provides both seeds and fresh or dried greens to flavor many foods. A must for making pickles!
Dill is an annual and may self-seed in the garden but it is rarely a problem since it needs more moisture than other members of the Umbelliferae family like fennel.
