Dill MAMMOTH Herb Seeds

A tall vigorous dill variety producing abundant aromatic foliage and impressive flower heads bringing strong flavour and bold structure to herb beds borders and kitchen gardens.

 

Dill Mammoth is a high yielding strain known for its tall upright habit and generous leafy growth. The foliage is fine and aromatic with a clean aniseed scent ideal for salads fish dishes pickling and summer cooking.

 

Plants develop large golden umbels that attract bees and beneficial insects while also providing a plentiful supply of seeds for culinary use.

 

Mammoth is especially valued for its height and productivity making it a favourite for gardeners who want maximum harvest from each plant.

 

This variety thrives in sunny free draining soil and grows quickly from seed. Regular picking encourages fresh leafy growth while allowing a few plants to flower ensures a strong seed crop. It performs well in beds borders and larger herb plantings and self seeds lightly when conditions suit.
