Growing greens must be approached with information. Dill varieties differ in terms of ripening, abundance of leaves, richness of aroma. Selecting the culture that best suits your personal needs requires comparing several options.
Dill fragrant, ordinary or vegetable garden is a popular aromatic seasoning with a spicy smell. Greens are grown in every summer cottage, in greenhouses and on the windowsill. The plant is short-lived. The stem is straight, ribbed, with varying degrees of branching. Its height is 50-150 cm. The leaves are strongly dissected, the lobules are linear-filiform. The lower ones are petiolar, the upper ones are sessile. The inflorescence is a double umbrella, up to 15 cm in size. The fragrant plant is used in cooking and conservation, fresh and dried.
Information. The spicy herb is cultivated on all continents; it is found in the wild in Asia and North Africa.
The culture is undemanding in care, cold-resistant, quickly acquires consumer qualities. Dill by ripening time is divided into three groups:
Full information on landing dates in the article.
In addition to the ripening period, the plants differ in appearance:
The culture belongs to the mid-season, a powerful bush is formed during the growing season. It is characterized by abundant foliage of medium size, strongly dissected. The greens are juicy, tender, there is a waxy coating. Planting time in open ground is April - May. Dill does not produce flower stalks for a long time. The stem grows up to 130 cm. The yield is 2.9-3.5 kg.
The first development of Russian scientists for the breeding of the bush form of dill. It ripens late, technical maturity occurs after 40 days. The variety is highly regarded by gardeners for the abundant foliage on the bushes. The color is light green, there is a natural yellowish tint and a light waxy coating. The rosette is large, its height is 30-40 cm. It grows up to 12 leaves on a succulent stem. The aroma is strong, the greenery is delicate, with a pleasant taste. In the flowering phase, a convex central umbrella with many rays appears.
Sowing is carried out in a continuous way, 25 g of seeds are taken per 1 m 2. Planting is recommended from April to July. Planting depth 1-2 cm. Harvesting occurs in May-September. Up to 3 kg of greens are obtained from 1 m 2 of the plot, and the weight of the bushes for spices is 2.8-6.3 kg.
The culture has long been known to gardeners. It is early maturing, resistant to cold weather, drought, common diseases and pests. Specifications:
The culture is characterized by a long ripening period, up to the collection of spices 120-140 days. It acquires commercial qualities in 42 days. Specifications:
Greenery with a bluish tint, leaves are large, strongly dissected. Pleasant aroma.
Mid-season variety with excellent aroma. Inflorescences are laid late; greens can be cut for a long period. Additional benefits are abundant foliage, high yields. Peculiarities:
The plant is used for cooking and preservation.
Early dill is rich in vitamins and essential oils. The greens are fragrant, tender. The plant is spreading, undersized. The leaves are gray-green. Technical ripeness occurs in 25-35 days. The variety is resistant to powdery mildew, can be grown in partial shade.
A Dutch variety with a large, spreading rosette. A powerful bush will grow up to 150 cm. The color is deep green. Leaves are thinly dissected, with a waxy coating. The plant is resistant to shooting, can be grown in a greenhouse and open field.
Agrarians highly appreciated the dense foliage, aromaticity and slow stemming of the plant. The variety is late-ripening. Used for greens and technical processing. Cutting begins in 39-55 days. Peculiarities:
The variety is resistant to disease, the yield depends on care, the indicators are 0.7-4.2 kg / m 2.
A productive variety of bush dill from German breeders belongs to the mid-season. It takes 40 days for technical maturity. The bush is not high, but the rosette is raised. The leaves are large, strongly dissected. Their segments are short and wide. The color is dark green. One bush weighs up to 150 g. Advantages of the variety: stable yield, strong aroma, long growing season.
Mid-season variety. During the flowering period, the plant reaches an impressive size, its height is 150-160 cm. The bush is compact. Shoots grow in the axils of the lower leaves, according to the principle of pinching tomatoes. The socket is raised. Large leaves of a grayish-green hue are covered with a waxy coating. The culture gives a high yield of aromatic herbs and spices. Dill is intended for growing in open and closed ground.
The bush is distinguished by large foliage and a dense rosette. Delayed formation of inflorescences allows you to use delicate greens for a long period without additional sowing. The rosette is raised, the leaves do not come into contact with the soil. This helps them stay clean and prevents the spread of fungal diseases. Gardeners collect 150 g of greens from one bush, and the total weight for spices is 220 g. The culture is mid-season, it is harvested 35-45 days after germination.
A versatile variety suitable for industrial cultivation and planting in the home garden. Recommended for protected and open ground. In regions with a temperate climate, the seedling method of growing is used.
Mid-season variety with a spreading rosette. The first harvest takes place 35-45 days after sprouting. Cutting begins with a basal rosette, then the turn of the leaves of the lower tier comes. Specifications:
Early maturing plants are characterized by juicy greens with a strong aroma. A distinctive feature of the variety is lodging resistance. The foliage is tender, light green. "Grenadier" refers to the bush forms of dill. Early culture makes it possible to collect greens for the table in 30-35 days. The rosette is raised, height 20-25 cm. It grows up to 10 leaves 15 cm long. Dill can be planted in open ground and in a greenhouse. In protected conditions, the stem reaches 3 m. The aromatic and taste qualities are excellent. The mass of the bush is 30-40 g, the total yield is 1.8 kg / m 2.
Information. Dill is an annual umbellate plant, if the seller offers a perennial variety it is cheating.
The variety is loved by many gardeners. It belongs to the late ripening, the period from the emergence of shoots to the collection of greens is 40-45 days. The stem with an umbrella appears after 115 days. The culture is widespread in temperate regions. The plant does not give a seed head for a long time, so it is cut several times per season.
Characteristics and description of the variety:
The plant can be grown in any area, it is not demanding on lighting. Cold-resistant greens are planted in early spring or autumn, closer to frost. Dill is responsive to organic fertilizers introduced into the soil in the fall. When leaving, loosening, weeding and watering will be required.
Pros of the variety:
The culture is undemanding in cultivation, it is recommended for novice gardeners.
Information. With competent agricultural technology, the weight of the bush reaches 100-150 g. Productivity is 1.5-2.8 kg / sq. m.
A real find for farmers was the creation of a plant capable of forming new leaves in the axils of the main leaves. A distinctive feature of the new varieties is the delayed appearance of inflorescences. Now it is possible to remove greens 2-3 times over the summer. The first cultures had a vulnerable spot - weak immunity. Plants were easily attacked by root rot and black leg. The leaves were thin and long.
Information. The first bush variety is "Kibray", it was registered in the 90s of the last century.
The new generation of bush varieties has been relieved of the old problems. Plants have become healthy and resistant to many diseases of umbrella crops. Dill with long ripening has time to accumulate a significant amount of essential oils in the leaves and stems. This feature makes the greens more aromatic, gives a rich, tart taste. By the flowering phase, the bushes in the open field grow up to 1.5 m, and in greenhouses even higher - 2.5-3 m.
High yield and taste of bushy greens depend on compliance with the rules of agricultural technology. The plant needs a loose soil with a fertile layer of 40-50 cm. To provide it with nutrition, humus and mineral fertilizers are introduced into the soil. The sowing depth is 1-2 cm. A distance of 30 cm is made between the rows. Such a scheme will provide optimal conditions for the development of greenery. In confined plantings, side shoots do not form in bush dill.
Before planting, the seeds are soaked to accelerate germination. Sowed in April, then after 2-3 weeks the next lots are sown. According to the conditions of crop rotation, good predecessors for bush greens are tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers. The first shoots appear in 1-2 weeks. They are thinned out, leaving 5-7 cm between the plants. 2 more procedures are carried out to bring the gap to 15-20 cm.
Care activities - weeding and watering. Irrigation should be regular. Weeding is especially important at the initial stage of development, the grass does not harm adult bushes. After the rains, the row spacings are loosened. In fertile soil, in which all the necessary fertilizers have been introduced, plants develop well without additional feeding.
Dill has a lot of pests: aphids, carrot flies, umbrella moth, carrot fly. To save greenery, use the drug Fitoverm, infusions of tobacco, hot pepper, onions. Flowers - marigolds, nasturtium calendula - will help scare away insects from the garden. In case of violation of agricultural technology (excessive watering, dense planting), the plant is threatened by fungal diseases.
The advantage of bush dill is the long absence of arrows. In cold regions, this feature does not allow the seeds to ripen. Farmers cannot collect planting material from their site. The solution was to grow greens in seedlings. Seeds are sown in containers in March-April. By May, the grown seedlings are transplanted into open ground.
Advice. Podwinter sowing gives a good result. The seeds are planted with the onset of frost, preventing their germination. Embedding to a depth of 3-4 cm. The surface of the beds is mulched with peat or straw.
Medium ripening plants are suitable for cutting and spice production. The first collection of greens is possible after 40-45 days. Standing rosette, leaves are large, green with a slight bluish tinge. Farmers recognize the advantages of the variety:
The height of the rosette is 30-40 cm, the bush reaches a weight of 100 g.
A mid-season culture will improve the taste of salads, first and second courses, preservation. The technical maturity of dill occurs 58-65 days after germination. Specifications:
The seeds are buried by 1 cm, the sowing time is April-May. The variety is recommended to be grown through seedlings. Dill "Buyan" has a high content of essential oils.
The plant belongs to mid-season varieties, the greens begin to be harvested after 40-42 days. A characteristic feature of the variety is lacy leaves with thin and long lobes. They are colored green with a bluish tint. During the growing season, the green mass will grow abundantly. It has a strong, tart aroma. The culture is used fresh, frozen, dry. Flowering occurs in August. The total yield is 3.7-4 kg / m 2. The plant has strong immunity to powdery mildew and most fungal infections.
Dill does not exist without umbrellas, the inflorescences are necessary for the plant for reproduction. After the flowering phase, seeds ripen in them. Early varieties form umbrellas already in June, so the collection of greens is very limited in time. Breeders have created plants with an extended growing season. Late ripening varieties require more maintenance. Their growth occurs during the hot summer months, so watering is required 2-3 times a week. Irrigation should be balanced, lack of moisture impairs the palatability, leads to yellowing of the leaves. Excess water provokes fungal diseases.
What dill is better to plant on greens? The following varieties have been recognized by farmers:
A late-ripening variety of Russian selection is recommended for cultivation throughout the country. Gardeners have known him since 1996. The crop gives a good harvest in open ground and greenhouses. Greens for cutting grows up to 47-55 cm, in the flowering phase the plant is 120-150 cm. More than 20 leaves are formed in the rosette. The leaves are large, flat, green with a bluish tint. The length of the petioles is 16 cm. The stem is strong, lighter than the color of dense foliage.

Ripening is medium late, the rosette is raised, the number of leaves is 12 pieces. They are very aromatic, with a delicate taste. The color is light green, the weight of one bush is 20-30 g. In industrial cultivation, it is harvested at the first cut completely with the root. The plant is suitable for drying and freezing, popular in conservation.
The plant produces a raised, semi-spreading rosette of light green leaves. There is a waxy coating on the surface. The variety is medium late, the inflorescence does not form for a long time. The leaves grow abundantly, the seeds sprout together. "Mischievous" is recommended for growing not only in the garden, but at home, on the windowsill. When harvesting, a bush weighs 25-30 g. The total yield in 1 m 2 is 1.6 kg.
The culture of Czech selection is distinguished by an early period of technical maturity (35-40 days) and increased resistance to the formation of arrows. The greens have a strong spicy aroma. The leaves are dark green. The height of the stem is 90-115 cm. It is recommended to sow in a continuous way, the distance between the rows is 35 cm. The dill is used fresh, dried, frozen.
The list of the State Register includes 70 varieties of dill. For gardeners and entrepreneurs, bushy plants with late formation of arrows are of value. Growing multiple varieties at different ripening times will provide seasoning from spring to late summer.

The first representative of bush dill is the Kibray variety, which appeared in the early nineties. The plant acquired bushiness due to the fact that new leaves were formed in the leaf axils.
After some time, breeders managed to improve this culture and bring out its new varieties - Salut and Buyan. The main advantage of the latter was the long period of development before flowering, thanks to which gardeners were able to collect a large amount of fragrant greenery. But there were also disadvantages, including poor shape, fragility and a high susceptibility to rot of the root system.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the breeding of “new generation” varieties began, devoid of the above-mentioned disadvantages. The most popular representatives of this group are the Alligator and Amazon. Soon, the Almaz variety was brought out, which absorbed an even greater number of improvements. The main difference between Diamond is the long period of collecting greens. This plant is able to provide fresh greens throughout the summer, growing new leaves after each harvest, but only with proper care.
As a rule, bush dill is cultivated for a long time, during which the leaves accumulate a large amount of essential oils, which provide a tart and unique aroma of the culture.
According to statistics, to obtain 200 grams of greens, it is necessary to sow about 20 grams of ordinary dill seeds and only one gram of the Alligator variety.
Alligator - a variety of dill
The very procedure for growing this crop seems extremely simple, but in reality it should be approached thoroughly. The fact is that there are many different oils in the seeds, which significantly slow down the growing period. If conditions are favorable, seedlings will form about eight to ten days after sowing, while at low temperatures this can take several weeks.
Note! To speed up germination, gardeners resort to an etching procedure, which consists in soaking the seeds in warm water for about 24 hours. What is characteristic, in this case, the water needs to be changed periodically as it cools. After etching, the first shoots should be formed after a couple of days.
Bush dill is a light-loving crop, it is also extremely demanding on the fertility and structure of the soil. The optimum temperature for growing is about 18-20 degrees. The height of adult specimens reaches 1.5 meters, and grown in greenhouse conditions - 2.5-3 meters. Leafy shoots grow from the sinuses (the latter, as noted above, provide the shape of the bush), internodes in the lower part are drawn together. The length of a single leaf is up to 45 centimeters, which is why, by the way, bush dill is often confused with fennel.
There are many bush varieties that differ from each other both in their shape and in the height of the bushes. Let's get acquainted with each of them in more detail.
Table. Brief characteristics of bush dill
| Variety name | General information |
|---|---|
| It is an early ripening culture (between shoots and collection of greens takes from 25 to 35 days). A relatively "young" variety with sprawling low bushes. Tellingly, the collection of greens can be done many times. | |
| This mid-season variety is characterized by the fact that it has a universal purpose. The time between germination and collection is 40 to 45 days. The leaves are large, gray-green. The yield can reach 6.5 kilograms (for spices) and 4.1 kilograms (for herbs) per square meter. | |
| Another mid-season variety, forming three to four stems from each baptismal node. Between germination and harvesting takes from 35 to 45 days. The leaves are dark green, medium in size. The aroma is somewhat sweet. | |
| A highly aromatic crop with 40 to 45 days between germination and harvest. If the seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, then the period for collecting greens can be extended to two months. Shooting is rather weak, which allows you to get greens in large quantities. | |
| A mid-season dill variety that, thanks to its long growth period, builds up an impressive deciduous mass. Ideal for conveyor production, since it does not require subsequent reseeding. It should be planted more spaciously, so the distance between the seeds should be left larger. The greens are removed gradually, the large ones are cut off (this will ensure thinning). | |
| A highly aromatic early ripening variety that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The time between full germination and collection is 35 to 40 days. The foliage is good, the leaves themselves are large and tender. Height reaches 65-80 centimeters, erect rosette. It is also worth noting the rather slow laying of inflorescences and the formation of stems. | |
| Late ripening culture. Not suitable for conservation as a seasoning, because due to late flowering, the seeds do not have time to fully form. High productivity. The height of the rosette reaches 40 centimeters. |
It is also worth noting that in most cases, gardeners plant the Alligator variety.
The varieties of the culture described in the article can be grown in two ways:
Let's get acquainted with the features of each of the methods in more detail.
The cultivation process traditionally begins with careful preparation.
As a rule, the flower stalk of bush dill is formed at the end of the season, so in most of the country the seeds do not have time to ripen. And in order not to buy planting material every year, at least a few plants should be grown through seedlings - this way the seeds will ripen before the onset of cold weather.
Note! Due to the high content of essential oils, seed germination deteriorates over time. And if you are not sure about the freshness of the material, then it is better to soak it in warm water as described at the beginning of the article.
Before sowing, spread the grains on a piece of cloth and dry until flowable.
Shrub dill loves fertile soil, which absorbs moisture well, although most of the neutral soils are quite suitable for it. And due to the fact that the roots of the culture are powerful and can go to a depth of half a meter, an appropriate thickness of the fertile layer is required for normal development.
First of all, apply a mineral / organic fertilizer to the soil; the application rates you must adhere to are as follows (for one square meter):
Note! Do not add ash, dolomite flour and lime under the dill - because of this, it may turn red and stop developing. In addition, the soil must be well-drained, since the culture does not tolerate stagnant water.
Sow seeds in loose, moist soil. The optimal time for this is late April or early May. Sowing should be done across the beds.
For greater convenience, take a small board and make grooves with it (the distance between them should be 15-20 centimeters). If the planting is more dense, then side shoots are not formed, and the development of plants will be the same as that of ordinary garden varieties. After that, water the soil and place the seeds in the furrows in steps of 1.5-2 centimeters. Dig in on top of the furrow with a two-centimeter layer of peat or humus, slightly compact the soil. You do not need to water again.
It remains only to cover the planting site with a piece of film until shoots form. It is difficult to answer when exactly bush dill will rise, since a lot depends on the type of soil and temperature conditions. However, when the seedlings appear, thin them out.
Thinning, by the way, is necessary several times. When the height of the seedlings reaches 6 centimeters, the distance between them should be increased to 5-7 centimeters; in the future, as it grows, the distance between the bushes should be increased first to 10-12, and then to 15-20 centimeters.
Caring for bush dill consists of watering and removing weeds. Remove weeds until three to four leaves appear on each seedling. Further, the dill will begin to grow more intensively, and the weeds will no longer be able to drown it out.
Water the plants every week at a rate of 5 liters per square meter. Fertilization is not required if you have fertilized the soil before sowing. Although you can make root feeding several times during watering (add ½ liter of mullein and 1 teaspoon of urea for every 10 liters of water).
Note! Do not use nitrogen fertilizers unless absolutely necessary, as nitrates can accumulate in dill leaves. The exceptions are cases when plants suffer from nitrogen deficiency, as evidenced by yellowed leaves and a slowdown in development.
Let's make a reservation right away that the procedure is not much different from the seedling cultivation of other crops, therefore, it will be considered only briefly.
For such cultivation, the Almaz variety is most suitable. Sow seeds about a month before transplanting into open soil - in other words, sometime in early April.
Step 1. Pour the seedling mixture into wooden boxes or other containers, make grooves of a centimeter deep in it in steps of 1.5-2 centimeters.
Step 2. At a distance of 0.5-1 centimeters, place in the furrows.
Step 3. Sprinkle a little soil over the furrows, water, cover with glass or PET foil, and place the containers in a warm place. The temperature should be between 18 and 22 degrees.
Step 4. After germination, remove the glass / film, and place the boxes in a cool place (from 10 to 12 degrees) for several days. After this time, maintain the temperature specified in the previous step.
Step 5... When the first true leaves appear, move the plants into cassettes with a mesh size of 5x5 centimeters.
Step 6... In the future, periodically water the plants. When the seedlings have six to seven true leaves, you can transplant the seedlings to the garden bed. We have already familiarized ourselves with the features of subsequent care earlier.
