Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
For the best flavor, grow Elephant dill in well drained, poor soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. It grows well in full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. Ensure that it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth. Elephant dill is also drought-resistant.
When to Grow
Plant Elephant dill in early spring after the last frost or in fall. It grows best in temperatures between 55-75 F and can tolerate temperatures as low as 24 F. For continuous harvest, sow seeds every few weeks until midsummer.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds directly into the garden about 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and 2-4 inches apart. Dill can also be grown in containers at least 18 inches deep to accommodate its taproot. Ensure the container has good drainage and place it in a sunny spot​. Sprouts form in about 7-21 days.
How to Grow
Dill requires moderate watering; keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Although it is relatively drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture ensures maximum productivity. Harvest leaves as needed, or cut the entire plant when seeds have formed at the tops of the 3-4 foot tall plants. Often reseeds itself.
How to Save
To harvest dill seeds, allow the seed heads to fully mature and turn brown on the plant. Once the seeds are dry, gently shake the seed heads over a bag to collect them. Store the collected seeds in a cool, dark, and dry place throughout the winter to maintain their viability for future planting.
