Notes

'Crystal Apple Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Crystal Apple 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. The vines sprawl wide, so give them room to spread. Yellow summer blooms attract bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
