Detailed Information

While ‘Fernleaf’ dill is a cultivar of *Anethum graveolens*, the species itself is **native to the Eastern Mediterranean region, including Southern Russia, Western Asia, and Egypt.**

Therefore, the likely origin of the *species* from which ‘Fernleaf’ dill was developed is the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding areas. The cultivar itself might have been bred and developed in a different location, but its genetic heritage lies in that region.
