These cute, fat cucumbers are famed for their sweet flavour and thin skins. Eat them in salads, pick young and pickle, or use them to make Tzatziki sauce – as a Mediterranean variety, it’s the perfect choice. Each vine should be good for 15 fruits, so get ready to eat and enjoy your Lebanese cucumbers. Expert chefs say there’s no substitute for the real thing!

Please note that this variety has been treated with an anti fungal agent Thiram. Please do not feed seeds to animals or consume directly. Seeds for sowing only.

  • 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. Lebanese cucumbers are usually just right at 15-20cm long.
