Product Description

This fast-growing & vigorous variety produces plentiful crops of bitter-free mini cucumbers. An all female type, they are best grown in a greenhouse or tunnel, where seedless fruits can be produced if kept free from pollinators. All female F1 hybrids give the surest results, producing almost all female flowers, virtually eliminating the need to remove male flowers (male flowers are generally only produced when plants become stressed). A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this is an easy-to-grow, long-standing favourite of vegetable growers & is frequently recommended by the gardening press & consumer groups as one of the best tasting cucumbers. Its high resistance to disease extends the growing season as the plants are less susceptible to powdery mildew, which can be prevalent towards the end of summer & into autumn, when light levels are lower. The dark green, thin-skinned fruits are best cut when about 18cm (7in) long & have a pleasing nutty flavour that is far superior to shop-bought cucumbers. As well as being super fresh & juicy when picked straight from the garden, these little beauties are packed with nutrients & antioxidants
- they are a good source of vitamins K, B & C, as well as minerals such as potassium & magnesium. Supplied as a packet of 5 seeds ready to sow indoors from February to May. Plant out May to June into fertile, moisture-retentive but well draining soil in a greenhouse bed or tunnel, or into good quality compost in containers or growbags for growing under cover. Harvest from July to October (cooler-grown crops from August).
