Variety description from Ujamaa Seeds: "Bouquet dill is a popular cultivar of common dill, a fragrant annual herb native to the Mediterranean and West Asia. Historically cultivated for both culinary and medicinal purposes, dill has been widely adopted across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. ‘Bouquet’ is a modern variety prized for its high essential oil content and early flowering habit, making it a favorite among both home gardeners and commercial growers. ... The plants typically grow 2 to 3 feet tall and have a light, airy structure. This variety is known for its strong aroma and flavor, as well as its ability to attract beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is often grown for both its leafy greens and its seed heads. ... Begin harvesting leaves once the plant is about 8 inches tall. Snip outer leaves first to encourage continued growth. For seed harvest, allow the plant to flower and set seed. Once the seed heads turn brown and begin to dry, cut the umbels and hang them upside down in a paper bag to collect the seeds as they fall. Both leaves and seeds can be dried and stored for later use, though the flavor of fresh dill is more delicate and aromatic."
