When to plant dill in Darwin

Honest answer: dill is a poor fit for Darwin. Dill can't handle the heat in your area — temperatures exceed 28°C for too much of the year. If you're set on trying, treat it as an experiment — a sheltered microclimate or pots you can move may stretch the rules.

Tropical zone tip

Dill grows in Darwin's dry season. Plant May to August.
