Notes
'Dragon's Egg Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Dragon's Egg Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract butterflies and bees. The plant spreads 35 to 94 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
