This Dill is extremely fragrant, usually covered with butterflies...It needs to be securely staked as tall as it gets and as big as the flower heads are, because it is very easily blown over by wind...I have flowerheads in excess of 12 inches across..
A small piece tucked into the cavity of grilled fish is outstanding, and it makes a wonderful Dillweed dip for raw veggies...I will never be without it in my garden...

Dukat is reputed to be the sweetest dill. Also said to attract beneficial insects like hover flies, ladybugs and bees.

'Dukat' is a tetraploid dill with larger flower heads. The abundant foliage has stronger flavor than other varieties, making it an excellent choice to grow for dillweed.
