| Identification | Dill is a familiar garden plant, but seldom seen escaping. It is a very tall plant, 3-6 feet, with finely dissected leaves, segments filiform, and broad compound umbels. Flowers are tiny and yellow. Coupled with its strong scent, this plant is hard to mistake wit its large yellow umbels and filiform leaf segments. This is a favored hostplant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly in gardens, though it might take a discerning eye to spot a caterpillar on the stems. | |
| Taxonomic Comments | This is the only species in the genus Anethum, and thus there are not several species of Dill; the single word common name suffices.
