Thalia is an open-pollinated organic dill with upright, branching growth and classic dill scent. Cut leaves as needed and the plants regrow for a continuous crop.
Sow outdoors in mid-spring once soil is warm, or start indoors in peat, cow or paper pots to protect delicate roots. Removing flower stalks keeps leaf production going longer.
