★★★★★ Slow, but fragrant

This dill grew very slowly in my garden. I didn't get much and it never set seed, but I must mention the aroma. The leaves put out intense flavor and fragrance. This is not the usual sharp dill smell; it's mild and floral with jasmine and rose overtones. This would be amazing with salmon, but may be too mild for pickles. I didn't get enough to try much. When dried, it loses much potency. The flavor and fragrance remain the same, but you need to use a lot more of it. I intend to plant this again, but I think I'll start it early in pots. Maybe I'll just grow it inside on a sunny windowsill. Unlike the usual mammoth dill , it doesn't grow very big.
