Most cucumbers only thrive in cool weather and many of them are prone to mildew. Green Gem Cucumbers, on the other hand, are among the most heat tolerant cucumber varieties you can find. So, if you've been regretting the lack of this salad standby in the summer months, this is your best chance at success. Mildew resistance is part of the package, ensuring that you're able to enjoy a crunchy fresh harvest just when you'll enjoy it most. Expect slicing cucumbers that are about 20cm in length when ready for picking.


To improve germination this seed lot has been treated with an anti fungal agent Thiram

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Start your seeds in spring. Direct sowing is the best solution, but if you want to get an early start, you can sow them in pots and plant them out after the last frost. Plant your seeds no more than 10mm deep, and keep the soil moist. Water deeply, and then let just the surface of the soil dry between waterings to keep them moist but not soggy.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest your cucumbers in the mornings when they are at their firmest and juiciest. Cut them from the vine to prevent breakage. Don’t let the seeds mature, even if you have more cucumbers than you need, as that tells the plant it can stop producing.
