Dill – Mammoth Long Island
$3.99
This variety of dill produces beautiful bunches of bluish-green, needle-like leaves on long, hollow stems. Its appearance and fragrance are reminiscent of fennel. In mid-summer, the plant produces pretty little yellow edible flowers that attract certain pollinating insects. Indistinguishable from the famous “dill pickle”, dill is an annual plant that resprouts.
