Bouquet

Dill

40d to harvest

Fragrant as a fresh bouquet, Bouquet dill fills the garden with a bright, aromatic lift—cool, green, and unmistakably “dill-fresh” from the first feathery fronds. At maturity, it forms a dense, upright spray of fine, threadlike foliage with a tender, lively texture that stays flavorful for repeated harvests. Grow Bouquet for standout flavor in pickles and briny preserves, for stirring into sauces, and for finishing garden-fresh salads with its signature fragrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water bouquet during the 40-day growing phase?

Water to keep the top 1 inch of soil evenly moist, then let it start to dry slightly before watering again—typically about 1 inch per week total depending on heat and soil type. In full sun, this often means watering every 2–3 days early on, and more like every 1–2 days during hot, drying spells. Avoid frequent light splashes that keep the surface wet; aim for deep, even moisture around the roots.

How do I know when bouquet is ready to harvest at 40 days?

Harvest when most of the blossoms show color and are just beginning to open, usually around day 40. Cut in the morning when stems are turgid, and look for fully developed buds that are tight but not hard—once several buds are open, the rest will follow in the vase. If you wait for all blooms to open, you’ll shorten the display time.
