Appearance & origins
Dill is a feathery herb with fine, thread-like leaves that are bright green in color. The plant grows to a height of 2-4 feet and produces small yellow flowers in umbrella-shaped clusters, known as umbels. Its seeds are flat and oval, brown in color, and have a distinct ridged texture.
Dill is native to the Mediterranean and western Asia but is now cultivated worldwide. It thrives in temperate and subtropical climates, often found in herb gardens and wild in sunny meadows.
