How to Plant Dill from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoor Planting: Sow seeds 2-3 weeks before the last frost in spring or late summer for a fall crop.
  • Successive Sowing: Plant new seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches.
  3. Mix in organic compost to enhance soil fertility.

Direct Sowing Outdoors

  • Scatter seeds ¼ inch deep and 12 inches apart.
  • Lightly cover with soil and water gently.
  • Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.

Indoor Starting

  • Use a deep container to accommodate the taproot.
  • Maintain temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
  • Transplant carefully when seedlings are 3-4 inches tall.

Pro Tip

To encourage leafy growth, pinch off flower buds until you’re ready to collect seeds. If growing for seeds, allow the flowers to bloom and dry on the plant before harvesting.

Getting to know your Dill

Dill is a hardy annual herb known for its feathery green leaves, delicate yellow flowers, and strong aroma. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with full sun exposure. Dill grows between 2 to 4 feet tall and has a deep taproot, making transplanting difficult. Its leaves, commonly called dill weed, and its seeds are widely used for culinary purposes, particularly in pickling, salads, and sauces. The plant blooms in summer, producing umbrella-shaped flower clusters that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Dill prefers cool weather and often bolts in hot conditions. Regular harvesting of leaves before flowering can prolong its lifespan. As a companion plant, dill helps deter harmful pests like aphids while attracting beneficial predatory insects.

Our Seed Safety Promise

We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Our Seed Quality Guarantee

At Shido, we believe great gardens start with great seeds — and that means quality comes first. Every seed lot we offer is ensure to generate top-notch germination because your garden deserves nothing less.

To keep our seeds at their peak, we run thorough pathology tests at trusted outside labs. When you open a Shido seed packet, you can trust it’s been nurtured, tested, and approved to give you strong, healthy plants from the very first sprout.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
