Dill 'Dukat'
identification
description
Dukat dill is a highly valued aromatic variety in the vegetable garden, sought after for its finely cut foliage as well as its intensely fragrant seeds. Its upright and uniform habit makes harvesting easy, while its generous umbels bring a beautiful visual lightness to the garden while attracting numerous pollinating and beneficial insects. Very popular in cooking, it develops a fresh, aniseed, and invigorating flavor that perfectly complements fish, potatoes, pickles, and homemade marinades. Easy to grow, it does particularly well when sown directly in place, as its taproot does not tolerate transplanting well. In the ground as in large containers, it grows elegantly in light, fertile, and well-drained soil, in a warm and bright exposure. Its somewhat slow initial growth is quickly rewarded by an abundance of foliage and, later, by the structured beauty of its flowers and then its seeds. It is a useful, decorative, and nourishing plant that accompanies the gardener from the first sowing to late-season harvests. Dukat dill is thus an essential fine herb for aromatic vegetable gardens, both generous, fragrant, and full of character.
