How to Prune Dill
- 1). Harvest the dill's leaves. Prune each leaf just at the stem, or harvest the entire stem within 3 inches of the ground. Pull off the leaves and discard the stem.
- 2). Prune dill flowers for display when they turn completely yellow by cutting their stems to within 3 inches of the ground.
- 3). Harvest dill seed from the head by cutting off the entire seed head at the stem. Wait until the majority of the seeds have formed and turned brown, roughly two to three weeks after the plant begins to flower. Shake the seed head upside down inside a paper bag to remove the seeds.
