Thalia Dill Seeds (Organic)
Perfect Dill for Pickling Lovers
Anethum graveolens ‘Thalia’ is a lush, slow-to-bolt dill that brings a long season of bright, aromatic foliage to your garden and kitchen. This variety forms tall, graceful plants swaying with feathery blue-green fronds that are as beautiful in the bed as they are delicious on the plate. The mild, classic dill flavor shines in salads, sauces, and dips, while still holding up beautifully in canning and pickling projects. If you love to snip fresh herbs right before serving dinner, Thalia will quickly become a staple in your culinary garden.
Because Thalia is slow to bolt, you enjoy a longer harvest window of tender leaves before the plants shift energy into flower and seed. That means more time to bundle fragrant bunches for the farmers market, tuck sprigs into jars of refrigerator pickles, or dry and store your own homegrown dill for winter cooking. The tall, upright habit fits easily along the back of herb beds or between rows of cucumbers and potatoes, while the soft, ferny foliage adds texture to mixed plantings. As the season progresses, the airy yellow umbels invite a host of pollinators and beneficial insects, turning this useful herb into a small wildlife haven.
Did You Know?
Dill has been treasured for centuries as both a kitchen herb and a companion plant, and Thalia carries on that tradition with garden-friendly vigor. Allowing a few plants to bloom not only provides seed for pickling and next year’s planting, but also creates nectar-rich landing pads for beneficial insects like lacewings, lady beetles, and tiny parasitic wasps. These garden allies help keep common pests in check, making dill a natural partner in an organically managed garden.
- Slow-to-bolt habit extends the leafy harvest and reduces gaps between sowings.
- Fine, feathery foliage is ideal for fresh bunching, garnishing, and drying.
- Flowering umbels supply flavorful seed for pickling and future plantings.
- Excellent companion near brassicas, cucumbers, and other summer crops.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water
Dill prefers full sun and loose, well-drained soil that is moderately rich in organic matter. Work in compost or well-rotted manure before planting to support steady, leafy growth. Aim for a soil pH in the neutral range and avoid very heavy, compacted areas where water tends to stand. Keep the seedbed consistently moist during germination, then water deeply and regularly so plants are never stressed by prolonged drying. Overly soggy conditions can weaken roots, while extreme drought can encourage earlier bolting.
Planting & Growing
Direct sow dill as soon as the soil can be worked in spring and continue with successions every few weeks for a continuous supply. Sow seeds 1/8"–1/4" deep, about 10 seeds per foot, in rows spaced 12"–24" apart. Once seedlings are established, thin to 2"–4" between plants to promote sturdy growth and good air circulation. Dill does not like its roots disturbed, so if starting indoors, transplant carefully before plants become rootbound. In cooler regions, early sowings can be protected with row cover to encourage faster growth and earlier harvests.
Harvesting & Storage
Begin harvesting foliage when plants reach 8"–12" tall, snipping outer fronds as needed and leaving the central growth intact for continued production. For the best flavor, harvest in the cool of the morning once the dew has dried. To dry dill, bundle small bunches and hang them upside down in a warm, shaded, well-ventilated area, then strip and store leaves in airtight containers. For seed, allow flower heads to dry on the plant until the seeds turn brown, then cut the umbels and finish drying in paper bags before rubbing out the seeds. Properly dried leaves and seeds keep their aroma for many months, letting you enjoy the taste of your summer garden all year long.
