Growing Tips

  • Direct sow seeds where they will grow because dill develops a taproot and does not transplant easily.
  • Give tall plants enough space and shelter from strong winds.
  • Sow additional seeds every few weeks for a steady supply of young foliage.
  • Harvest leaves before flowering for tender foliage and allow later growth to mature for seed production.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location. Keep them in their original packet or an airtight container protected from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Long Island Mammoth is a tall-growing dill variety valued for its abundant foliage and culinary uses.
  • Dill belongs to the Apiaceae family, along with carrots, parsley, and fennel.
  • Dill produces flat-topped clusters of small yellow flowers called umbels.
  • Mature dill seeds are aromatic and commonly used as a culinary spice, especially in pickling.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow directly outdoors in spring after the danger of severe frost has passed. In mild climates, dill can also be grown during cooler seasons.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil in the final growing location. Sow seeds directly and thin seedlings after emergence.

Depth: Sow approximately one-quarter inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Thin seedlings to approximately six to twelve inches apart. Allow additional room if plants will be grown in crowded conditions or exposed to strong winds.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for vigorous growth and productive foliage.

Soil: Choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Dill performs best without excessive soil compaction.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early establishment. Once established, water when the upper soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately seven to fourteen days under favorable conditions. Temperature and moisture can affect germination speed.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is preferred because dill develops a taproot. If transplanting is necessary, move young seedlings carefully with minimal root disturbance.

Fertilizing: Dill generally requires little fertilizer when grown in reasonably fertile soil. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can produce excessive foliage.

Care: Keep the planting area weed-free and provide adequate spacing. Tall plants may benefit from protection from strong winds.

Flowering/Maturity: Young dill foliage can be harvested several weeks after sowing. Allow plants to flower and mature if you want to collect dill seeds for culinary use or future planting.
