Description
Cucumis sativus
Ooh-eee! These tender Lebanese-style cukes are prolific and sweet as heck!
The Middle Eastern Beit Alpha type cucumbers are some of our favorites, with smooth skins that don’t need peeling and sweet, never-bitter flavor. They can store for longer than many cultivars without getting rubbery. These prolific plants pump out loads of burpless, 8” long fruits over a long season, even in hot weather. Three cheers for the Superheroic Zagross!
Seeds grown by Swift River Farm in Salmon, Idaho.
30 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed after danger of frost has passed and soil is consistently warm, or start indoors 2-4 weeks before last frost and transplant carefully. Thin to 12" spacing. Bush-type, so you won't need a trellis.
