Hera
A tier
Hera is a robust leafy dill selection with good colour and aroma for fresh market bunches. Plants are productive and suited to cut-and-come-again leaf harvest before umbels dominate. Use in any dill-weed role: sauces, fish, and eastern European soups. Compared with Mammoth, Hera leans leaf over giant seed heads. Provide wind support if stems elongate in rich soil.
