Dill?

Do post a picture somewhere. Dill with yellow & red flowers would be quite attractive in an herb garden. :-)

NEVER in a group that doesn't have the word .binaries. in its name.

You could post it to alt.b>>

Just curious... before I even look at the pics, why did you "think it was dill?" I guess what I'm saying is, where'd you get it? Regardless of what it looks like, if you bought it at a nursery, that's most likely what it is. If you picked cuttings off the roadside, however, that's a different story.

I've got to say, this doesn't look like any kind of dill I've ever seen, foliage, flowers, or otherwise...

That's not dill. Coreopsis maybe?

Looks like a Coreopsis to me, too.

Never heard of such a thing. The flower doesn't sound like anything that can belong to a plant from this family. What did the seed look like? It should have resembled carroway seed.

Doesn't look like whats growing in my backyard either.

Hi, I grow herbs to sell at a local farmers market. As others have said, this isn't dill of any form. However, it does look like Coreopsis tinctoria (plains coreopsis). You might do a google search on this, or go to Park Seed's web site as they sell it, as compare. Considering how fast my dill has been bolting lately, I think I'd rather have this! mel

I have to agree, I have 2 different kinds of dill growing as well, so I think you are right about ir being coreopsis. No clue where i got the seeds from, having moved from Southern Cal, to Northern Virginia and taking my seeds with me. Maybe some got mixed up in the jumble of moving. Thanks for the ID, it is too bad though, I thought it really added to the sauce I used it in??? Is it known to be poisonous at all? I did not use a lot of it but am wondering what would happen if I did. Not really brave enough to risk it though.

Unless a plant is famously poisonous (Foxglove, Oleander), I don't think there's anything harmful in sampling it. Most plants we don't eat aren't harmful -- they just don't taste very good and/or have no particular nutritional benefits.

According to what I could find, it isn't:

I don't know anything about the link being posted but a search on google:
