About the Plant
Dill (Anethum graveolens) is a popular annual herb known for its aromatic leaves and seeds. Widely used in cooking, fresh dill adds flavor to salads, fish, potatoes, and soups, while the seeds are often used for pickling. Dill is easy to grow and thrives both outdoors and indoors.
Hydroponics & Smart Garden Use
When grown in hydroponic systems or smart indoor gardens, dill can mature up to 3x faster than in traditional soil. This makes it a great choice for year-round harvesting, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, aromatic leaves for your kitchen.
