Notes

'Anya' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Anya') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs quickly, so give it a support to grow on. Bees visit its flowers from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Blue Beech tomato, Roulette habanero pepper, and Teddy dill.
