A favorite herb in the kitchen, dill is a gorgeous addition to salads and fish dishes. It also makes for a pretty flowering herb in the garden. Knowing how to prune dill is essential for maintaining a healthy plant that will keep producing throughout the season.
When growing dill, there are many different varieties to choose from, each with slightly varying habits and tastes. New dwarf types such as ‘Fernleaf’ and ‘Nano’ are ideal for growing in pots and window boxes, as they only reach 11–18 inches high and are rather prolific. Taller, as the name suggests, is Mammoth, which scales the heights of 5ft 10in and has large umbrella style flowers.
