Mammoth dill (Anethum graveolens 'Mammoth') is a tall and vigorous variety of dill known for its feathery green foliage and aromatic seeds. It can grow up to 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) tall, making it one of the largest dill varieties. The plant produces yellow umbrella-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Mammoth dill is commonly used for pickling, seasoning dishes, and as a garnish. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is an excellent addition to herb gardens or companion planting with vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes.

Dill - Mammoth

Indoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Fill seed trays with seed starting mix and sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
  • Keep the soil moist and at a consistent temperature of 60-70°F.
  • Seedlings should emerge in 7-14 days.
  • Once seedlings have developed their first true leaves, thin them to one per cell.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last expected frost date.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil that has been amended with compost.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Keep the soil moist and weed-free.
  • Thin seedlings when they are 2-3 inches tall, leaving 12-18 inches between plants.

Growing

  • Dill prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
  • Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Protect plants from pests, such as aphids and spider mites, by spraying with insecticidal soap.
  • Harvest leaves when they are young and tender, before the plant flowers.
  • Harvest seeds when the seed heads turn brown and dry.
