Dill is one of the easiest herbs to grow and would make a great first herb for someone who has never grown herbs before. It is a hardy annual herb grown for its seeds and foliage. The plant grows ordinarily about 3' high having feathery leaves, which stand on stalks, with linear and pointed leaflets. It is of very upright growth, its stems are smooth, shiny and hollow, and in midsummer it bears flat terminal umbels with numerous yellow flowers whose small petals are rolled inward. The flat fruits, the so-called seeds, are produced in great quantities. They are very pungent and bitter in taste and very light, an ounce containing over 25,000 seeds. To the Greeks the presence of Dill was an indication of prosperity.
