Notes
'Armenian' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Armenian') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows rapidly and blooms from early to late summer, which draws bees. This is an open-pollinated type, so you can save seed.
Pairs well with Black Beans bean, Cherry Belle radish, and Persian basil.
