About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern, highly resistant pickling cucumber for outdoors, exactly the right choice if mildew has spoiled your harvest in damp summers so far. It flowers purely female and sets very heavily, so you pick small, even fruits for pickling right through the season. As an F1 hybrid it is not open-pollinated, but it is extremely reliable and easy to grow.
Firm and crunchy with a fresh, clean flavour and no trace of bitterness. Picked small it makes the ideal cornichon, a little larger a crisp mustard pickle.
