Product Description

Cucumber Seeds - Dragon Suhyo Cross - Hybrid. Non-GMO. Cucumis sativus. Alternate names: huang gua, huang kwa, ketimun, khira, kyuri, pepino, pipingha, taeng kwa, timun. 50-60 days. Warm season annual. This vigorous hybrid sooyow-type Japanese cucumber has its origins in Northern China. It is easy to grow with good disease and mildew resistance. The dark green skin has defined ribbing and fine white spines. Fruits mature at 10-12" long and have excellent flavor and quality. This variety is suitable for open field growing and has a monoecious flowering habit (plant produces both male and female flowers). Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring/early summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Or start seeds indoors and transplant when weather warms. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are 75°F daytime and 60°F at night. Train to climb a vertical support for better air circulation, straighter fruits, and ease of harvest. Used for pickling or salads. Cut cubes of very ripe cucumbers and add to soup. Sooyow varieties are choice for pickling because of their crisp texture and small seed cavity. Approximately 1100 seeds an ounce.
