Description

The snakehair cucumber is a deciduous climbing plant that is particularly eye-catching from September onwards with its light green fruits. When you touch the plant, a somewhat unpleasant odor emanates. The fruit itself tastes very good. The funnel-shaped white flowers are a particular eye-catcher. Young, unripe fruits are used before they turn bitter.
