Growing requirements from the plant library. Cultivar and local conditions can change the details.

Care decision	DillAnethum graveolens
Light	Full sun; shelter tall plants from strong wind. NC State: dill
Water	Maintain moisture during establishment and dry spells without leaving the root zone saturated. RHS: growing dill
Soil & growing mix	Moist, well-drained soil; high fertility is not a requirement. Utah State Extension: dill
Mature size	NC State lists tall dill at roughly 2½–5 feet high and 2–3 feet wide. Compact cultivars can be substantially smaller; verify the selected cultivar. NC State: dill
Growing season	Annual: leafy growth progresses to yellow flowers and mature seeds within a growing season. Illinois Extension: dill
Winter & climate	Grown as a seasonal annual; some cold is tolerated, but a perennial hardiness zone is not a continuous-harvest guarantee. NC State: dill
Container fit	Container choice matters. Check mature size and root-space guidance in the reference.
Place & variety	UF/IFAS recommends Florida sowing mainly from September through December, with spring also possible. That regional pattern differs from a northern summer herb garden. Local sowing guidance and the coming weather are more useful than borrowing another region’s month. UF/IFAS: dill in Florida
Equipment to consider	Fiskars Micro-Tip pruning snips, 6-inch, 399240-1003 Bosmere Large Face Copper Plated Plant Markers, 10-inch, 10-pack
