Herb
Slow Bolt Dill
A tier
Slow bolt dill selections hold leaf longer under lengthening days and heat stress that send ordinary dill into flower. You gain weeks of usable weed for sauces before umbels claim the plant. Critical for warm-climate gardeners and summer restaurant supply. Flavour remains true dill; you are buying physiology more than a new taste. Still succession sow for peak quality.
