Description

Anethum graveolens (Dill) BIO: Aromatic herb for garden and kitchen

Anethum graveolens, commonly known as dill, is an annual, certified organic plant that is popular in both gardens and commercial plots. This organic variety offers aromatic foliage and decorative flowers, and is suitable for cut foliage, culinary uses, and pickling, such as gherkins.

Dill BIO can be perfectly integrated into mixed crops and offers both visual and culinary added value.


Mixed cropping and ecological benefits

Dill is an ideal plant for intercropping, or mixed cultivation. The herb grows well between:

  • Cucumbers: Dill can support the growth of cucumbers and positively influence the taste of the crop.

  • Cabbage species: the plant attracts beneficial insects and can partially repel pest insects such as cabbage whites.

  • Sweetcorn: Dill can increase biodiversity and attract pollinators, improving the yield of surrounding crops.

Sowing dill among other vegetables promotes biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem in the garden or on commercial plots.


Growing conditions

Anethum graveolens BIO grows best in light, well-drained soil. The plant is sensitive to both overly dry and overly wet conditions, so an even moisture supply is important for optimal growth.

Sowing season: April to June.
Sowing method: direct sow outdoors, sow shallow.
Spacing: rows 30 cm apart, 20–25 cm within the row.

These guidelines ensure a healthy, robust plant with optimal air circulation, which limits disease and fungal problems.


Aromatic leaf and culinary uses

Organic dill is versatile in the kitchen thanks to its aromatic, fresh leaves. It can be used both fresh and dried. Some popular uses:

  • Fresh herbs: ideal for salads, soups, sauces, fish dishes and potato dishes.

  • Dried herbs: for winter use in herb mixes and herb jars.

  • Preserving: Essential for preserving gherkins, creating that classic, authentic aroma.

Organic dill leaves retain their flavour and aroma well, making them suitable for professional culinary applications and home cooks.


Flowering and ecological value

Dill produces yellow umbels later in the season. These flowers are not only decorative but also attract bees, bumblebees, and other beneficial insects, contributing to a healthy garden.

The combination of leaf production and flower formation makes organic dill valuable for both culinary and ecological purposes.


Maintenance and harvest

For a continuous harvest, it's recommended to sow regularly. Young leaves are the most aromatic and suitable for fresh use, while older leaves are good for drying or pickling.

Important points to note:

  • Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

  • Provide sufficient sunlight to get compact, aromatic plants.

  • Harvest regularly to encourage leaf regrowth.

This simple care ensures that dill BIO provides fresh herbs of high quality for a long time.


In short: versatile organic dill

Anethum graveolens BIO combines aromatic foliage, decorative flowers, and robust growth in one organic annual. It is ideal for:

  • Mixed crops: between cucumbers, cabbage and sweet corn

  • Culinary applications: fresh, dried or for preserving

  • Cut greens and decoration: leaves and flowers for bouquets and arrangements

  • Ecological value: attracts beneficial insects and supports biodiversity

These properties make Dill BIO an indispensable plant for gardeners, hobby growers and professional growers who want to grow sustainable, aromatic and productive herbs.
