What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Compact Dill Seeds (Anethum graveolens) grow into a space-saving, aromatic herb that delivers classic dill flavor without the height of standard varieties. This non-GMO heirloom dill is ideal for gardeners with limited space, thriving in containers, raised beds, patios, and even indoor herb gardens.

The plant produces soft, feathery foliage rich in flavor, along with seeds prized for pickling and seasoning. Compact Dill also produces bright yellow flowers that attract beneficial insects, helping support a healthy and balanced garden ecosystem.

Dwarf Dill for Small-Space Growing:

  • Compact growth habit ideal for pots and containers
  • Well suited for patios, balconies, raised beds, and indoor growing
  • Fern-like foliage adds beauty to edible gardens

Flavorful Leaves and Seeds:

  • Fresh leaves perfect for sauces, fish, vegetables, and meats
  • Seeds commonly used for pickling and canning cucumbers
  • Excellent for yogurt sauces, marinades, and everyday cooking

Why Gardeners Love Compact Dill:

  • Big dill flavor in a smaller plant
  • Easy to grow indoors or outdoors
  • Dual harvest of leaves and seeds
  • Attracts beneficial insects with bright yellow flowers

How to Grow Compact Dill:
Direct sow seeds after the danger of frost has passed, or sow indoors for container growing. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth, and allow seed heads to mature fully for seed collection. Compact Dill prefers minimal transplanting once established.
