Dill of the Hercules variety is a mid-season bush variety with a powerful and sprawling plant ranging from 18 to 25 cm in height. It is characterized by high yield and resistance to lodging, which ensures ease of cultivation and harvesting. The leaves are large, dark green with a waxy coating, possess a rich aroma, and contain a significant amount of essential oils, making this dill particularly valuable for culinary use.
The first harvest of greens can be conducted 35-45 days after sowing, allowing for the acquisition of fresh greens in relatively short periods. Flowering occurs approximately 70 days later, confirming the mid-season nature of the variety. Hercules is well-adapted for cultivation both in open ground and under film coverings, expanding opportunities for its cultivation in various climatic conditions.
Dill Hercules is widely used fresh and dried, as well as for canning and salting. Its aromatic leaves complement meat, fish, and vegetable dishes, imparting a rich flavor and aroma. Due to its characteristics and versatility of use, this dill variety is an excellent choice for gardeners and lovers of home cooking.
