(Anethum graveolens) Goldkrone is a vigorous slow-to-bolt variety that is excellent for both fresh leaf and (later) seed head production. Fresh dill is indispensable in our summer and fall kraut making, while seed umbels find their way into our various pickling projects. A lovely architectural plant in the garden, Goldkrone can grow to 5', so give it some space if leaving it to mature to the umbel stage. Gorgeous as a cut, the umbels are a welcome earthy sight in any flower arrangement!
