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.

- Dusk W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/25/26Just what was needed
We typically grown dill for seed, but this year decided to raise it more for the leaves. Tetra fills that need very well.
BIBotanical Interests5/25/26Hey Dusk,
What a great decision to switch things up and grow our Tetra Dill Seeds for the leaves this year! We love hearing that they're filling that need perfectly for you. There's nothing quite like fresh dill leaves to add that amazing flavor to your cooking. Thanks for sharing your Tetra dill success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
- Henry A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/4/26This is one of my wife’s favorites.
My wife’s mini-garden on the deck is her cooking source and B I’s dill is frequently listed at the top of hers.

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!!
Which best describes you as a gardener? BeginnerBIBotanical Interests3/26/26Hey Kiki,
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 🌻️
