500 Mammoth Dill Seeds – Anethum graveolens Aromatic Herb for Culinary Use & Pollinator Gardens

Mammoth Dill (Anethum graveolens) is a tall, aromatic annual herb prized for its feathery blue-green foliage and large, umbrella-like flower heads. This versatile herb adds a delicate, fresh flavor to pickles, salads, soups, and fish dishes, and its abundant blooms attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. Mammoth Dill is a favorite among gardeners for its impressive height and generous yields of both leaves and seeds.

Easy to grow from seed, Mammoth Dill thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, vegetable plots, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its tall stature and airy texture provide a beautiful backdrop for lower-growing plants, while its aromatic properties can help deter certain garden pests. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, Mammoth Dill is a rewarding addition to any garden.

Planting & Care

Sow Mammoth Dill seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, as dill does not transplant well. Scatter seeds over prepared soil and cover lightly with about 1/4 inch of soil. Keep the area consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart to allow for their mature size.

Once established, dill requires minimal care. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as dill prefers well-drained conditions. Harvest leaves as needed once the plant is established, and allow some flower heads to mature for seed collection. Dill readily self-seeds, so you may enjoy volunteer plants in future seasons.
