About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An open pollinated slicing cucumber that produces long, slender and glossy dark green fruits, as much at home in the greenhouse as on a warm trellis outdoors. It grows strongly, crops over a long period and is considered beginner friendly because it does not sulk when the weather changes. As an open pollinated variety it makes a fine alternative to the expensive F1 slicing cucumbers.
Aromatic and mild with tender, crisp flesh and a thin skin. A classic slicing cucumber for salads and cold suppers.
