1. Fennel

Fennel looks almost identical to dill. Both herbs are from the Umbelliferae family, with nearly identical feathery leaves and clusters of yellow flowers. Dill and fennel are easy to grow and will reseed themselves for the following year.

Cumin and dill are both herbs from the same Umbelliferae family. Both herbs have similar leaves and flowers with slight differences in size and shape but a big difference in color. It’s easy to grow these plants as they reseed themselves after growing.
