Anethum graveolens is a common herb often used in cooking. It's native to the Mediterranean and Southern Russia. It grows to around two feet in height with delicate fronds of foliage. The small yellow flowers grow in several umbrella shaped clusters. Traces of dill have been found in Roman ruins and in the tomb of Amenhotep II in Egypt. The name Dill comes from an Old English word dile that means to soothe. It is thought this is related to its ability to relieve wind. The leaves are often used to flavour fish dishes. It likes warm weather and partial shade.
