Description

'Masterpiece' is an early and reliable British selection for outdoor cultivation. This variety produces large harvests of dark green, slightly spined, 20 cm long cucumbers. The crunchy white flesh is tender and perfect for summer salads.

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

As cucumbers are quite sensitive to the cold, you should only plant them out after the Ice Saints. They also need a lot of warmth during growth and a constant supply of water is also necessary. Stress conditions such as temperature fluctuations, lack of water or frequent touching lead to the formation of bitter substances. A cultivation break of 3-4 years should be observed. Cucumbers must be able to hold on, as they form long tendrils (2-4 m). Regular harvesting increases the yield as more new flowers are formed.
