Herb
Tetra
B tier
Tetra dill (tetra-leaf types) produces denser, broader leaflet clusters that look almost fern-parsley hybrid, with strong aroma and good leaf mass for cutting. Bolting is moderate depending on heat. Chop into cottage cheese, fish cakes, and dill mayonnaise. The denser leaf can feel less airy than super-fine types but measures well for recipes by volume. Keep soil moist to avoid early stress flower.

Tetra-type dense-leaf dills were bred for improved leaf yield.

Specialty seed still offers Tetra for leaf-focused growers.
