Description

Mammoth Dill is a tall, vigorous variety known for its large, feathery blue-green foliage and strong aromatic flavor. It produces abundant leaves for dill weed as well as large seed heads, making it ideal for pickling, seasoning, and culinary use.

This fast-growing plant can reach impressive heights and readily attracts pollinators when allowed to flower. It performs best in cool weather and is valued for both its high leaf yield and reliable seed production.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual
• Direct sow: Early spring and successive plantings through summer
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 10–12 inches
• Height: 36–48 inches
• Days to harvest: 40–55 days (leaves), 70–90 days (seed)

Dill grows best in cool to moderate temperatures and well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly, as it does not transplant well, and thin seedlings for strong growth. Keep soil evenly moist and harvest leaves regularly before flowering for best flavor. Allow some plants to mature for seed production if desired.
