{"product_id":"bouquet-dill-seeds","title":"Bouquet Dill Seeds","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHistory\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBouquet Dill is the most widely grown and beloved heirloom dill variety in American gardens — a compact, prolific, and intensely aromatic strain that has been the go-to dill for home gardeners and pickle makers for generations. Named for its large, showy flower heads that resemble a bouquet, this variety was developed to produce an abundance of both flavorful foliage and large seed heads in a compact, manageable plant. Bouquet Dill became the standard dill variety for home pickling operations across the country, prized for its strong dill flavor, generous seed production, and reliable performance in a wide range of climates. Open-pollinated and non-GMO, it remains the benchmark heirloom dill for gardeners who want the full dill experience — fresh fronds for cooking and abundant seed heads for pickling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40–60 days to fresh fronds; 70–90 days to seed heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, upright plants 2–3 feet tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Heads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, flat yellow umbels 6–8 inches across — excellent for pickling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBouquet Dill delivers the bold, classic dill flavor that home cooks and pickle makers crave — bright, grassy, and slightly anise-like with a clean, fresh aroma that fills the kitchen and the garden. The feathery fronds are intensely aromatic and flavorful at every stage, from tender young growth to mature seed heads. The seeds carry a concentrated, warm dill flavor that is essential for authentic dill pickles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowth Type \u0026amp; Harvest Yields\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBouquet Dill is a fast-growing, compact annual that produces abundantly from a small footprint.
