Notes

'H-19 Little Leaf' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'H-19 Little Leaf') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is a compact climber with reliable yields. Green flowers open from early to late summer and bring in bees.

Pairs well with Black Cherry tomato, Persian basil, and Cannellini bean.
