Dill - Dukat Herb (150 seeds)

Dill - Dukat

Anethum graveolens

Dill Dukat is a premium Danish heirloom variety and widely regarded as one of the sweetest and most fragrant dill available, producing significantly more lush, dark bluish-green foliage than standard types before going to seed. Bred for Scandinavian cuisine and named after a historic European coin, it delivers a particularly fine bouquet and flavour that excels both fresh and dried. The large 25 cm seed heads make it outstanding for dill pickles, while the abundant aromatic leaves are excellent in fish dishes, salads, sauces, and as a garnish.

Slower to bolt than most dill varieties, Dukat provides a much longer fresh leaf harvest window through the season. Direct sowing is preferred as dill dislikes transplanting due to its deep taproot. Sow successively every two to three weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves from spring through autumn.
