Herb
Long Island Mammoth
A tier
Long Island Mammoth is a classic American tall dill associated with eastern pickling culture—big heads, strong seed, and enough early weed for the kitchen. It is Mammoth with regional naming heritage. Use umbels in kosher-style pickles and leaf in sour cream sauces. Plants need space and sun. Flavour is assertive dill; a little seed goes far in soups.
