The Best Companion Plants for Dill

The Best Companion Plants to Grow with DillThe distinctive flavor of dill, Anethum graveolens, is said to resemble a combination of fennel, anise, and celery.
The feathery leaves of this delicate and attractive herb are often used to season savory dishes, including fish, salads, and soups.
And the plant’s seeds are also put to culinary use, taking on a starring role in dill pickles, for example.
If you’re considering adding this useful herb to your garden, you may be wondering where exactly to fit it in, and which plants work well as companions for it.
We link to vendors to help you find relevant products. If you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.
First, we’ll take a quick look at what companion plants are and why they’re important, then we’ll offer some examples of what to group this herb with, and which ones to grow on the other side of the garden.
Why Companion Plant?One might pair, or group, particular plants in the garden for any number of reasons.
A particular plant, for example, might attract pollinators that are beneficial to another. Or a carefully chosen plant may repel pests that plague its neighbor.
One plant may tuck neatly under another one, maximizing space.
Sometimes plants are grouped based on their resource utilization, with each plant drawing differing nutrients from the soil, so as not to impinge on each other’s requirements.
Plants may be incompatible neighbors because they’re a little too closely related, as we’ll discover shortly.
And many times, of course, specimens are grouped based on aesthetics… what looks good together?
All of these are important considerations when you’re planning out your garden for the season.
