Herb
Fernleaf
A tier
Fernleaf is a dwarf dill with finely cut, ferny foliage that stays compact for pots and small gardens while delivering full dill aroma. It is an All-America favourite for patio cooks. Snip into tzatziki, salmon, and egg salad without a metre-tall plant flopping over. Seed heads are smaller; grow a taller type if pickling bushels. Heat still eventually flowers it—pinch and succession plant.
