About Tetra Dill Seeds
Anethum graveolens
Tetra' has fern-like, softly delicate, dark green, aromatic leaves. It is a late-flowering variety, lending itself to more leaf production; it is used mainly for the leaves, not the seeds. Slow-to-bolt.

Love the tetra dill. It is perfect for our short growing season. I like that I can grow it indoors year round.

Can't wait! Always interesting and viable seed from Botanical Interest
- KikiRated 5 out of 5 stars3/26/26Grows amazing in warmer climates
This dill grew super quick in my raised garden beds, I’m in zone 9b and it only took a couple weeks to have enough dill to use in the kitchen already. I tried to grow a dill variety from the nursery last year and it did no where near as well as this variety!!

We're so thrilled to hear your Tetra Dill Seeds are growing so amazingly in zone 9b! It sounds like you've got the perfect setup with those raised garden beds, and how exciting that you were already harvesting fresh dill for the kitchen in just a couple weeks! We love hearing when our varieties outperform what's available at the nursery - there's nothing quite like growing your own herbs and having that fresh flavor right at your fingertips. Keep on growing 🌻️

These turned out great! The pic actually doesn't do it full justice because I had just harvested a bunch.
I scattered about 15 seeds in a 6 in plastic pot. I actually planted these like 2 months too early, then after a frost and when temps started hitting 70 highs they sprouted and went crazy. Happy with these seeds.
