Dill 'Elephant'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Elephant is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Elephant needs a sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

It may be planted in spring or fall. Planted in early spring, dill will produce seeds during the same season. It can also be planted in fall so that the seed germinates on it’s own when conditions are right.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Elephant is a hardy plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
