Description
The grand old heirloom that made its mark in pickling jars across America. Mammoth Long Island Dill (Anethum graveolens) lives up to its name, producing towering plants up to 4–5 feet tall with large, umbrella-like golden blooms and intensely aromatic leaves. Known for its robust flavor and heavy seed production, it’s the go-to variety for traditional dill pickles and spice blends, where its pungent, tangy essence stands bold and true.
Vigorous and hardy, this variety thrives in loamy or silt loam soil, favoring full sun and steady moisture. The broad fronds yield abundant fresh greens early in the season, followed by massive flower heads loaded with seeds for drying or culinary use.
An heirloom dating back to the 1800s, Mammoth Long Island Dill has remained a garden favorite for generations, prized for its reliability, fragrance, and impressive size. Whether used fresh, dried, or for seed saving, it remains the standard for those who love their dill bold, aromatic, and enduring.
