The Long Island Mammoth Dill weed plant, Anethum graveolens comes in a few varieties. This listing is for the USA Dill. It is an annual herb in the celery family. Dill is grown widely in Eurasia, where its leaves and seeds are used as a herb or spice for flavoring food. Fresh and dried dill leaves (sometimes called "dill weed" or "dillweed" to distinguish it from dill seed) are widely used as herbs in Europe, Central Asia and throughout north america. Dill is best when used fresh, as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried. However, freeze-dried dill leaves retain their flavor relatively well for a few months. Plants get to 4 to 8 foot tall with fern like foliage. Open pollinated 51 to 94 days depending on the stage you want to harvest.

    Planting and Harvesting Tips:
    Start indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost of spring. Transplant outside after the soil has warmed to 65˚ to 75˚F. Sow one inch deep and space 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Plants prefer full sun and moist soil with plenty of organic matter.
    Harvest daily with a sharp knife during hot weather — pods taste best when young and grow quickly past the stage of prime eating. Wear gloves and long sleeves for protection from spines.
