Notes
'Diva' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Diva') is a climbing vegetable for container growing, border planting, and the food garden. 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 is grown for fresh eating, and the fruits taste especially flavorful when you harvest them small. Bees visit the summer blooms.
Pairs well with Cannellini bean, Persian basil, and Cherry Belle radish.
