Notes
'Ancash Market Cucumber' (Cucumis sativus 'Ancash Market Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract bees and butterflies. The vines spread wide, so give them plenty of room.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Dill.
