Climbing freshness from India
Native to northern India, where it has been grown for over three thousand years, the Cucumber climbs by tendrils and quickly covers trellises and wire fencing.
Fast and productive, it yields abundant fruit within weeks, and growing it vertically saves precious space in the vegetable garden.
"The Cucumber is the garden's water turned into fruit."
01
Styling Tip 01
Sun and warmth
Give it a sunny, warm position sheltered from dry winds that scorch its foliage.
02
Styling Tip 02
Generous watering
Water generously and regularly at the base: any shortage immediately turns the fruit bitter.
03
Styling Tip 03
Climbing support
Train it on a trellis or wire: the fruit stays clean, straight and far easier to pick.
