Cucumber seeds

These cucumber seeds produce traditional dark green slicing cucumber with a mild flavour and consistent cropping.

• One of the most popular varieties of cucumber, the seeds produce cucumbers with premium features including mildly sweet, straight fruits with the dark green and protective skin.
• The fruits are up to 8 – 9 inches long and the plants produce over a long season, regardless of whether the weather is hot or cool. Highly disease-resistant and extremely reliable.
• They are tolerant of a disease called cucumber mosaic virus which causes yellow rotting and stunted growth in plants and fruits.
• Producing long fruit and with impressive resistance to powdery and downy mildew, the cucumber variety is very suitable for numerous environments.
• The seeds are large thus making them easy to handle and sow easily.
• The plant has good climbing growth.

When do I grow my cucumber?

• Once started, the cucumber vine grows along quite rapidly, putting out hairy stems with large, attractive leaves.
• The vines produce tendrils and can be trained to climb readily.
• The male (pollen-bearing) flowers will appear on the plant first, but do not produce fruit.
• A week or so later the female flowers appear and produce the oval, elongated cucumber.
• Cucumbers self regulate how many fruits they can carry at one time.
• In order to maximize production, harvest fruits as soon as they reach picking size.
• Pick daily, because, under ideal conditions, cucumber fruits can double in size in just one day.
