Dill of the Shmargd variety belongs to mid-early and high-yielding crops, ready for harvest 33–40 days after germination. Plants form a compact bush with dense dark green foliage, which has medium segmentation and short segments. Due to the high content of essential oils, the greens have a rich aroma, making this variety particularly valuable for culinary use.
Shmargd is distinguished by drought resistance and tolerates high temperatures well, allowing it to be grown in various climatic conditions. The variety is suitable for multiple harvests of greens during the season, and when grown in greenhouses or home conditions – almost year-round. Dill grows well on light soils and does not require frequent crop rotation, which facilitates care and increases yield stability.
This variety of dill is universal in application: its greens are ideal for fresh consumption, adding to salads and sauces, as well as for canning and drying. Due to compactness and high yield, Shmargd can be grown not only in open ground but also in pots, boxes, or containers on a balcony or kitchen, making it a convenient choice for urban conditions.
