Description

Hardy, mildew-tolerant outdoor variety with approx. 25 cm long, smooth, dark green fruits. Particularly high yielding. Uncomplicated cultivation. Planting in the open partly already possible from mid-April, but then protect from the cold with a fleece. Germination after about 7-10 days at 20-25°C.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Harvest the first fruits early, so that the plant does not put all its energy into the first fruits and forms enough more. Choose a location that is as sheltered from the wind as possible. Avoid waterlogging, but water well, because cucumbers become bitter in drought. A trellis is recommended.
