Notes
'Beit Alpha Cucumber' (Cucumis sativus 'Beit Alpha Cucumber') is a 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 blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract bees and butterflies. The vines spread wide, so give them room to sprawl.
Pairs well with Radish organic, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
